Well, part of me wants to leave it open, but I picked up some 1/4" Luaun Mahogany plywood (yeah, the cheap stuff they used for the back panels of cabinets...lol) that I'm going to skin the stand with. I managed to find a piece with some nice grain, and it was only $10 for a 4x8 sheet, which might end up being enough to do the canopy too.

I think for the sanity of my roommate I'll have to close it in...the drain is going to make a bit of noise and with the tank being in the living room I don't think he'll be too excited about my drain splashing noises interfering with his home theatre system
