True. Well I went over to the custom cabinet shop next door (the guy who's gonna do the outer work) and I asked him what I should do. I told him I want to increase the width by 2". He gave me a great idea of putting a peice of 1/2" MDF against the back, then putting another back frame of 2x4" which will give me the 2" I need, and keeping the the sturdyness of the frame. Should work fine.

All that being said, why not phone King Ed and ask them if they have any used pine 90 gallon stands around. I bet you could get one for $100
I'm sorta a DIY kinda guy (I didn't mean for that to rhyme). Plus I need the stand to match some of my other furniture in the same room. This way I can have the height, and color all match.
