So after having talked to a few people about how the stand for my tank was made I thought I would post some pics of the process on here in case anyone else is looking to do something similar. This setup was actually made back in 2011 and has been running since then.
The stand is made of 2X4s, sheet rock and some old Formica counter top.
It is sort of a hybrid between an in wall tank and regular tank stand. This was done due to the high ceilings of my house making it impractical to install a full wall to make the tank "in wall". Instead the tank stand matches the walls of the house but is free standing. There are no doors as everything is accessed from behind the tank.
Here is a pic of how it looks finished:
