The cabinet is made out of solid pine.  We designed it to match the adjacent computer desk. 
The sump is in our basement, so there is plenty of space for storage underneath the tank!

Starting to come together!

 
Here's the hood.  Okay, no tank in there yet, but you get the idea.
The entire front panel will also be hinged for "easy access".
Each door opens separately for feeding, etc.
Stained! 

 
   
Doors stained and drying.
 Finished!
