And I hope you like the final look.
As for bracing...shelling the stand in plywood does most of the work.

Looks great!
I especially like the moulding on the hood, it really sets if off.
Be sure to seal up the inside of the hood so mold don't grow in it.

Wow, you could park a pickup truck with the 55g in the bed on top of that!
I built my 55 stand entirely out of plywood, screws and liquid nails, its been running for about 4 months now, survived a move and a billion pounds of slate being moved around in the tank.
