Ha, Ha. I'm the biggest spaz when it comes to building things. I just followed the instructions on Melev's Reef website http://www.melevsreef.com/
The only thing I did differently (other than twisting the design) was I went to a glass shop to have my acrylic cut (which is the hardest part of the entire build). Just make sure you tell them to cut the acrylic with a saw and not score it with a knife.

Seriously if I can do it, anyone can

Cut Acrylic on the table saw with a carbide blade. Use wood hole saws with cooling to drill holes and make sure your edges are absolutely straight and smooth for a good fit.
