This is what it should look like together roughly. Generally I put a piece of plywood (generally MDF, even though it isn't great when wet, this shouldn't be getting too wet, and can always be sealed with polyurethane) on the top, and on the bottom sitting on top of the 2x4s that are on the bottom running lengthwise. The bottom what is cut with a jig saw to get it to fit on there very snug.
 
Mine looks like this :)
Not finished .. Sometime in the next few days :)
Bfore all the extra support went in.. Cause me and my wife wanted to see how tall the tank was going to be on the wall:WHOA: Like 6 FEET LOL

Plus i stil have a support to add in the rear and I believe one more area i haven't looked at that yet.. Is much more sturdy than the one the tank is sitting on FULL right now behind it :) And the one behind it is 4x4's.. Though mine might as well be 6x6's roght now without any more adds. LOL

so on the bottom theres a horizontal pieces that sticks out from the rest of the frame and from there i guess you add the flat panels, doors, etc...?
