Sorry for the crappy dark pics...I took a grinder with a wire wheel to smooth out any rough spots and to round out the corners,I didn't want to use a sander and ruin the rustic look of the wood and I found that the wire wheel worked perfect for that

I found the plywood which which was weathered a bit and was exactly the right shade I was looking for...and yes I'm picky(I passed up well over a dozen pieces already..wrong shade and grain)every piece of pallet wood I used had to be the right shade for the spot it went to.

Alittle update!i burnt the wood to bring out the darker grain of the wood.then a clear satin finish( $4.99)which brings me to a total of $14.52
Only thing lef to do is the top trim moldings to hide the base molding of the tank and the moldings around the doors
