Here is a link with some really good building tips.

Im interested in your stand because my tank has the same dimensions as yours.

Please post a pic when you are done. I want to see how you do the fuge.

WOW ! Thank you to everyone for all of the posts. I feel comfortable building one now without the center bracing. I'm also throwing th eidea around about making the stand an L shape this way putting the tank in the corner and having the smaller L part section as the fuge. Still playing around with the room and where I would like everything to go but if I go ahead with the L shaped stand it will actually give me a bit extra room for the fuge/goodies under the tank.
