I am looking for Ideas on what kind of wood work I want built around my 120" L x 30' w Tank with "possible" Hanging or some sort of canopy. I have a master carpenter going to build me any kind of enclosure I wish to cover up the horrible looks of it now. so if any reefers no matter the size of your tank please share your cabinetry that surrounds your tank, canopy, sump stand. I am looking for ideas this is happing end of feb.

I would go with MDO. It's a marine grade plywood. Won't warp or absorb moisture. Then veneer with desired finish. I would also add a pair of fans.
 
My only suggestion regarding a hood is consider removable panels instead of doors and an open top. My last hood for my 125g allowed me to completely remove the front for access.

Just a cleat on the bottom to support the weight and marine grade encased magnets to hold it upright. Worked amazing.
 
This would look great with yours, not my tank
