Check out The stand I built for my 75 gallon.

Very nice stand. I also think doors would be good.
 
Thanks for the Response.
Believe it or not that is the first piece of furniture I have ever built.......(Darn it !! another Hobby to spend money on). :duh:
I also added a "slide on Top" canopy. Will post pictures soon.

I am not sure what type of stain to use. I do not want to lose the natural wood color.

And Yes they are 4X4s . I don't know how much it weighs. I Just shove it around leaning myself at 30 Degrees to the Horizontal :joke:.
I will find out ones I move out of the apartment.
Cheers :)

I am no woodworking expert but did my fair share of woodworking projects in my life (i love wood) - i'd try to match the trim to the colour of the 4x4s - and then give the whole stand a nice clear coat (satin, gloss etc whatever you like most). After all its around an aquarium - water splashes, possibly higher humidity etc. The coat will protect it. But again ... thats just me - others prefer to keep the wood surface.
