pics of home built stands for 55gal

[Craigmax]

I have a 55gal tank. I am conteplating building my own stand to accomodate a w/c tub underneath. Has anyone built their own? Pics or link would be great. Its going into the dining room so it needs to look decent to fit. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Beautiful work Ron.

Dan, someone local is offering me a 10" yellow/gold for $500. The reds are the 'expensive' variety, but much more attractive in my book. I'm debating still.

Hi Marc,
2x4s are sufficient support. The stand sold at LFS don't have any 2x4s at all.
