I finally finished my stand build for my 90 AGA reef ready. I know how everyone love pics, so I figure I would post them. I still have to do a little sanding, a lot of staining and then off to the canopy. I used 2x6s for the top frames, and 2x4s for the support. Then I added a 1/2" Particle board on the top of the stand for the tank to sit on. I also drilled out a section for the over flow and return to go through the stand. The facing wood I used was select pine and this was also used to form the columns. The trim I used was a style called Egg and Dart. I used 2 sizes, the smaller one on the inside of the columns and a larger chair rail version for the floor and top of the stand trim. I also used a scalloped style trim for the column post.

I bought the doors for the stand from Lowes. The are 15" tall and 30" wide. You can order any size door pretty much and in a few different types of wood. I also ordered canopy doors which are 8" tall and 15" wide.

Here are a few pictures of the process...
