I like to you kitchen or bath sink base cabinets and reinforce them with 1x3 pine or hardwood internal framing around the corners and kickbase. This is a cost effective and easy way to get a good open cabinet for equipment. These cabinets come in many different size and wood finishes just add a solid platform for the tank and bracing. Also you can buy matching finished wood to build a canopy for lighting. The variaty of options from using the cabinets is almost limitless.
