For the door hinges, you will want to use something else besides your basic hinges. Cabinet hinges like this one are a little easier to work with and look a lot better. Plus they cost about the same.
One thing you don't want to do is over engineer your stand and have it weigh a lot more than it needs to. Here's my first stand that was WAY over engineered for just 2x20gal tanks. This one cost >$25 with paint.

Your stand looks awesome! Can you show me the blueprint of how its built? It looks very convenient to store a canister filter and air pump
