The base is what everything is built off of.

1. 1/2" MDF board that I had cut to the exact base dimentions of the outside of the tank
2. 2" x 2" make a border on the inside of the base board, mark where they will be
3. 2" x 4" place them on the inside of the lines along the width and mark their location
4. PRE DRILL the mdf board where you have marked
5. Attach all boards making sure that the frame of the 2" x 2" boards fit evenly with the outside of the mdf, this will be important for the rest of the frame.
6. Base complete, take a look at the pics to see all the steps in order.

I added the 2 x 4 strips to give the table the appearence of floating. worked out well
