The only one that doesn't like this thread is my wife. She has been giving me dirty looks since I started buying materials and building the stand. Once its done though she'll be happy with the end result.
Well I am glad I inspired someone, not so glad that it has caused marital issues . This thread had the same affect in my house too!

Just and update to everyone. I purchased the wood, the Kreg pocket hole jig, and some screws yesterday. The screws are a total rip-off, but I found a 2000 pack online for 45 dollars and thinking about getting it. The wood cost me 29.50 from Home Depot (this is just for the 48" tank"). I ended up having them just cut down (3) 20' 2x4s and (1) 20' 2x6. It was much cheaper than the smaller pieces. The jig was 35 dollars. So running total is 29.50, 33, and 5 for the screws or around 70 dollars thus far. I will keep everyone updated on the progress.
