Yeah, that's what I was thinking about doing. Or a a plywood shell w/ fake doors. I'm just trying to see if there are any stands or stand makers out there that are cheap.

here you go.. this is what I did for my 365, and it cost about 90 bucks.. you can't find a welder to do it cheaper than that... all I would have to do know is put some really nice would around it and that's all.. the stand is about 18 inches high only. the reason though was because the tank is 3 ft tall and I still have to use a stool to get into it.. any higher than i wouldn't be able to work with it unless I climbed in...
how it is built, i took 4 x 4's and cut the ends in half or notched them.. put the 2x4 there. but I should've used 4x4's instead.. then i took 4x6's and cut those all the same size. then i used a 8 inch nail on each leg drilling a hole first and than using a hammer to push it all the way through.. I drilled a larger hole first so the nail head would be counter sunk. then after I put 1/2 plywood on top but i never took a pic of that...

I forgot to say, in theory if I were to lift the stand and with a hammer I could take the legs off because the only thing holding them is the spike nail. I used the 2x4 on the bottom there to hold the wood from moving around and to keep the legs from shifting when I was leveling it off...
Nice job andy. 
I'll have to Jimmy Rig something up like that myself. It's good to see the whole layout like that. Gives me some good ideas.
