This frame was a lot harder to get square than the one I built for my Bio cube 32.
 
looks like you are on your way, when i was at this point in my build this is where i decided to build a side box to the frame to install electroincs, and added pvc to the interior

@divermike_99 do you have any post on your stand build? I would love to see more details on it, so I can copy
 
I am building a stand for my 125 gallon long tank. I would like opinions on what to do about the interior base. Should I put two or more cross supports in the bottom topped with plywood or just put plywood in the bottom. I will caulk the entire interior of the stand and seal it with white flex seal. (I would do them the same as the crossmembers on the top but I am trying to add more room inside the stand. Without the crossmembers adds 3 inches)

Maybe make some triangles as they are the strongest support.
