Mounting 10 gallon on wall?
I saw some brackets at Homedepot that said they were rated for 1000lbs per pair
http://www.homedepot.com/prel80/HDUS...gjn.0&MID=9876 As long as these were secured to a pair of studs could I put a 10 gallon on the wall? I want to use it as a refugium.

As long the tank is on a stable level surface it'll be fine.
If the brackets are rated to hold 1000 pounds, then I think you'd be fine with a 100 pound tank. Make sure you put it into the studs with good screws though |
