fixing blocks are great as they go on the inside so no screw holes on the top and easy to use.most diy shops have them.

lol I was just googling for on of those pics, cos I can not remember what they are called. yup use the above and seal with silicon.

if you counter sink the base screws on 18mm you can use large screws to fix the base to the sides which will make it stronger and use the blocks to fix the top on.

dont use the viv until the smell of sealent has completly gone (use aquarium grade) and be very careful when you measure up for the glass !
other than that its easy, I am a 'bird' with no real diy skills and i have built two stacks of vivs.
