Contiboard appears to be the wood of choice for most, you can usually get it in white (B&Q and Wickes) or beech wood effect (Wickes), and its reasonably priced.
If your woodworking skills are crap its probably best to use fixing blocks to secure the different sections of wood. You can then seal the joins using aquarium sealant. Don't forget to put some ventillation in at opposite heights at opposite ends. White glass runners can be bought from B&Q although they're not the best price, I think dartfrog.co.uk sell black ones. There are experienced people on the forum who can give more detailed advice but they're the basics.
