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.
