You need to be more specific what you are asking. It's just getting the wood cut to measurements

Ok to be more specific, i wan my tank to be cover with wooden planks so that when ppl come see it wont be juz a tank with stand u understand what am i trying to say? Its really hard to explain all i wan to do is to cover up the metal stand and make it like a cabinet tank and for the top of the tank too

So it sounds like you just want to do a wood skin around your stand and then a wood canopy around the lights that came with the tank. Sound right? Post a pic of what you have. Any advice for starting would be vague at best if we dont have an idea of what your current set up looks like
 
Your starting point will depend on how you want to access the stand on your tank. I imagine you would want cabinet doors on the front for access. There are a ton of threads on how to build a whole stand like that, the only difference for you is you dont need the load bearing supports, and you just have to build the skin to the dimensions to go around the outside. Then all you have to do is find a way to attach it to the stand so it doesnt move at all, if you want to go through the trouble. If measured and cut properly it should just hug the stand snuggly enough that you shouldnt even have to anchor it at all
