You will need a finish or brad nail gun for the trim pieces and very little wood filler to cover the nail-holes. I like the idea of a full open front, you should have no issues while working inside the cabinet. I'd go for two doors; in the end will be your choice.

You can also attach the trim pieces the old way, hammer, finish-nails and a black thumb-nail as a souvenir...

Joey is the man! He has recently gotten into Sting Rays again and is finishing his living room reef tank since he started it last year.

The stand looks great but I would use a nicer handle.
