I am still wondering if the stand I build can withstand the 800 lbs. of my aquarium.

If you take a close look at the stands they sell at the LFS, they are generally pretty cheaply made using thin materials. You couldn't see the nails because it was probably stapled and then wrapped on the outside with a fake wood looking stuff that resembles contact paper.
As far as you building a good stand, that is something you have to decide based on your on woodworking skills and confidence. But, as far as carpentry projects go, a basic stand is pretty easy.
