Don't build one like I did. You won't save any money. Just buy factory built. Unless you REALLY are into DIY.
Though I do have a nice looking solid oak hood for my tank. It was hella expensive in the end. It's not for corals though, it has 4 compact flourescent lights in it (100 watts total). From what I read, you'll want at least 150 to 200 watts. MH or maybe 6 high output flourescents.
Air stones cause more problems then anything else....Why don't you use Powerheads instead? :happyfish
