That's a good idea Ace. I think I am going to wait to see how it looks when the background is on it and has rock and substrate... maybe then it will be a little less intense.
The overflow box is finally installed and I will hopefully have some rock in it by the end of the week.

Satisfied mostly with the rock work. Put the live Hawaiian black sand in and am loving the look of it. Overall I love the 0 trim on this tank, the rounded corners and the beveled bottom plate. Can't wait to get some livestock in there!

So I figured I ought to update this thread since a few things have been added/changed. I ended up switching my acan leds for 2 eco tech radions gen1 with tir lenses. I also used Ace's idea and made a canopy for them so that they have a clean way to mount them. I also re-aquascaped the rock work a bit to build in more flat spots for corals and swim through for the fish. The rock work above the overflow box was to help add something to the negative space between the water and the canopy. I think I'll probably end up adding a couple mangroves up there as well.
Then there is the mini me version of this tank. Originally I was going to go with a small seahorse tank with it but I don't have the time for the upkeep of seahorses at this point in time. Heck I hadn't even had time to get it set up. So I found an awesome betta that had unique colors/patterning so I snatched him up. Then threw in some plants, cardinal tetras, and some Japanese algae eating shrimps. The current pic was right after I threw all the plants back in after cleaning it. I need to prune them back a bit and replant everything. But anyways here are my two tanks.
