Hey here is a couple of picture of the construction of my new stan for my 120G

we started building the base of it it is all framed in 4x4 and the plywood in 3/4

Nice job!  Always glad to see someone actually take the trouble to notch the wood.  Great stuff.

Looks great but I'm still trying to work out where the bottle of Keith's is in the final set up.
