2x4's will be fine for the frame,just add a couple extra pieces in the middle of the front and back,if you dont need a sump in the stand.Or if you do need a sump under it,add 2 pieces 6"or 8" in on each side of the front and back.If the 100g is a 48" tank,the T5's will be no problem for what you want.

Cool,

The tank is 60" long x 18" Deep (front to back) and 24" tall, so I guess the ultimate test will be how goofy it looks with a 36" fixture above it and if the sides get enough/any light at all without me having to raise the thing to the moon! As for the front... I'm actually thinking of going with tile as opposed to a dry-wall, but that all depends on what the boss/smarter half is thinking!

If I can set it up with LPS in the centre under the direct light and then softies/riccordia off to the side, that could be really cool! Once I get the internet at the new house set-up I'll start some pictures going!!
