Although i dont have the plans in digital format i do have some pictures that may help show how i built this. If you have any questions just PM me. The cost to build this cabinet is roughly $80.00. And the cabinet is made to accomidate a 75 gallon all-glass tank. There is a lid on one of the pics but the top didnt accomadate my JBJ power compacts so it went bye bye. Materials include:

Standard 2X4's
Molding strips
1X4 pine
1X6 pine
1 sheet of wood paneling with finish quality side
4 small brass hinges
2 handles for the doors

I would recomend making plans specific to your tank size i am not sure if tanks are standardized or not.

Well here are the pics, and again if you have any questions just give me a PM and i will do what i can to help.

I built my stand under my 55.. its framed up using 2x4's and sheeted with Oak panel boards along with solid oak trim.. I will get a pic of it and post it.. the plans.. well. there are none.. I made this up as I went kind of deal.. it was pretty cheap to build altogether I have around 100 bucks into it.. which isnt bad considering the Petcos and petsmarts around here want more then that for a particle board stand.. I can make a plan for it if after I post it someone likes it..
