Nice looking stand.
I am also building a 55 gal stand, but i am using doubled up 2x4's and 3/4 " oak ply exterior. I will try and post some during and after pics soon.
THERE IS A TRICK TO HIDE THE PLYWOOD EDGES IT'S CALLED BANDING ( if you know this sorry just thought i'd share) YOU WILL NEED A TABLE SAW AND AN OAK 1X4, RIP 1/4 STRIPS OUT OF THE 1X4 THE LENGHT OF EXPOSSED PLYWOOD AND GLUE IT TO THE EDGE WITH SOME WOOD GLUE CLAMP TOGETHER WIPE OFF ECXESS GLUE WHEN DRY STAIN OR PAINT EDGE WILL HARDLY BE NOTICED
