A block behind the glass may or may not help for shipping, but if done the way shown in Spazz's drawing above, that front glass ain't going anywhere, once there is water pressure against it.

Of course the bottom edge would need the same treatment as the sides. Upper cross bracing (for the glass) would depend on the engineering limitations of its expanse and thickness vs load.
