one, two, skip a few... I forgot to take pics during the build of the stand but I do have some from just after.
First I traced the bottom of tank and the drain hole onto a plain old 2x12. Then using my trusty jigsaw and holesaw I trimmed the edges and drilled a hole just large enough for the bulkhead to fit in.

After that I belt sanded and routed the edge, and attached the light mount to the back with a frame nailer and adhesive, and then stained it to match my desk.
So the ugly block of wood turned into this in about 30 seconds.
