I see what you are saying about the angle iron. I know the guy who built my tank and stand has done many like this for a long time. He normally just puts foam on the angle iron like I showed in one of the first pics. I guess that would compensate for the slope of the angle iron. I ended up using ply in there anyways..

Now that I know what I do I'd have made had this tank built much differently, and no doubt I'd have done the stand with tube steel. the problem I had with the angle iron when I went to make the finish panels is that there's a gap between the edge of the wood panels and the tank glass; this is basically the width of the angle iron.
