I only have one fan blowing out of my stand and some vents at the back. If I could redo it I would have a fan on each side.

I wouldn't use that green wood. Just regular 2x4s and plywood (I used some nice pine from HD), and slap some paint on. I didn't put too much on, just enough to seal it up a little bit.

And I almost forgot - I would totally have put something inside to hold spilt water. I've probably lost 20 gallons of water on the floor in the past few months, having a 4" high tray in there would have saved me a lot of headaches. If your tank is on carpet and/or in an area where you would care if you had water on the floor (ie. living room, bedroom, rental property), do not skip this. I am seriously regretting it.
