Will,
Let me know if you want some help. I live in Silver Spring, have circular saws and a compound mitre saw, drills, etc. PM me, or respond in this thread.

If the dado cuts you are talking about are the ones in your vertical 2x4's, clamp all the pieces together, and set your circ. saw to the depth of the notch. run a whole bunch of cuts through where you want the dado to be and then chisel out what is left. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

I second the easy peezy lemon squeezy! Even I can cut dados! (Once I got up the guts to do it)
And I find something rather cathartic about whacking the resulting little slices out of the gap.
Oh, and I give myself bonus points for the skinned knuckles when rasping the groove smooth. The blood adds character to the project, IMO.

In the theatre carpentry world we often say that our job isn't done until there is blood somewhere on the set.

I built a fence in which the top 2x6 rails where dado'd/overlapped rather than butt-ended. Used my circular saw to cut slices and chipped out with hammer and chisel.

The best thread on the internet for DIY tank stands is at ReefCentral
There are over 100 pages of posts and hundreds of examples of stands.

Will,
That's the correct photo - really cool stuff!
It was great meeting and chatting with you yesterday. I think we spent 95% of the time yakking, 5% working - just about the right ratio, me thinks!
thanks

My son is hoping to get more space for his octopus and cuttlefish breeding. The pygmy octopus fry are in a 12 gallon tank!
