I think after doing it just use wooden planks to cover the sides and you should have a cabinet...

Hi...I did that before for my discus tank..... Its perfectly fine.... Erm... i dont think it really looks ugly.... Kind of have the rough edge feeling of it... By the way what Pr is using are concrete slabs..... and u can purchase at 1 for 60 cents at a few doors away from PR..... i not really sure of the operating hours of the shop.... so u got to try ur luck.... hope this helps.... oh yah.... make sure ur plywood is really really strong.... use two layers by all means,....

Actually, i don't think it looks ugly... it can have a nice, "outdoor" feel to it... my main concern with it is that it is not impact resistant..., while concrete bricks can withstand a big load, my fear is that if something knocks into it hard enough, it'll crumble... they can be quite brittle... :)

just my 2 cents worth..., i doubt you'll ever accidentally hit it that hard anyway ;)
