the frame holding the tank up is going to be steel and the cabnet fram will be 2x2 wood, the MDF will only act as a skin for the cabnet like you would use oak plywood or drywall, ect.. I was originaly going to do it out of oak but decided it wouldn't suit the room and decided I would rather be able to paint it.
