WOW is all I can say And Grizz, you would love the effect I have no doubt but I don't think mine has enough OOMpH for an 8 foot tank! But I do highly recommend them!

Thought I'd update with a couple of pics. Leak testing is done and after a significant amount of swearing the sump got squeezed into the stand and the countertop and display were put on and plumbed.
Went with a white background, I like black but we felt it would be too dark. Here's my herbie plumbing!  Kinda top down showing the return and the overflow, I'm hoping most of the return goes to the "T" on the bottom, but I wanted the loc-line up top as a siphon break and for surface agitation  Couple of FTS   In anticipation of a few comments, yes it will be pushed back against the wall and No, that's not the door we use regularly! With a little luck I'll get some water in the display tonight and possibly some rock!

Looks good... just make sure it's against the wall before you add the water

Fitting like a glove means lots of pinched fingers sliding it through
 Hung the light and starting to think about rock and water for tomorrow!

   White balance is off, it's not quite that blue, more of a crisp white. Will probably change out a bulb or two to get it a little bluer! Now, I Cycle and wait!
