Stand Design

So after contemplating using steel or a wood to build my stand and after reading all the positives in the reef central thread I've decided to go with a wooden stand made with 2x4 pieces of pitch pine. I had to customize my stand in incorporate my chiller because I intend to have a very clean cut tank with the display tank the focus and with the rest of equipment hidden within the stand. Basically i designed the frame using Google Sketch Up which is a free CAD tool. It's rather addictive and relatively easy to use. I will probably use it to design the plumbing section of my tank as well. Anyway below is the initial design for my tank.
