If you're using cinder blocks I'd suggest making a frame out of 4x2 frame for it to sit on so it is supported along the length. That or just a regular 4x2 stand would be pretty cheap (but not pretty), copy the design of the stand for that 3' tank of mine you have, just add an axtra pair of legs in the centre.

Or cover it with an old sheet.

If you weren't worried about doors etc you could easily make a box using the 2440x600 MDF panels, can't remember what they cost but not having to do any long cuts makes them easy to use, in fact you might be able to get them 1800 long for your tank (or is it 6', not 180cm?).

The easiest thing would be to source some cinder blocks then go into Mitre10 Mega or Bunnings and ask the guy running the saw if he could help you out. I think it's $1 per cut, just have all the dimensions and quantities with you. Then all you have to do is assemble it all when you get home.
