I'm considering having an existing stand "skinned" and also having a new canopy made (matched to the stand) for a large tank. However, I have my tank in my main living area in my house, so it really must be excellent, "furniture-quality" (whatever that means, exactly) work. Any skilled woodworkers in our midst looking for a project, or suggestions for such a person?
Suggestions for woodworker?

Still looking. Would love to find a fellow aquarium hobbyist to do this, because it would be nice to have who is familiar with the requirements of canopies, in particular. In fact, having never had a canopy before, I don't have a particularly clear vision for exactly what I want/need myself yet, except that I plan for the tank to be mainly for fish, with softies/LPS as complements to them, rather than as an SPS showcase, so my lighting requirements are not super-extensive. In fact, for a while I'd like to keep using my modest 2x150W DE MH, 4 x T5 fixture.
(The tank I have in mind is actually RokleM's, found here: http://mad-skillz.com/aquarium/08.27.2008-1.jpg, and here: http://mad-skillz.com/aquarium/09.08.2008-1.jpg. So the footprint is approximately 48" x by 36")
Anyone interested?

What exactly are you looking for in a stand. I have built 2 of my stands for my tanks. One of them is still used in my living room. How big of a tank do you have? Is that stand the current stand under your tank?

You can touch base with PMG. He has done some outstanding work up this way.
