My plan is to create a water changer with a bucket raised a few feet above the tank on a shelf and drill a hole through the bottom of the bucket and shelf. Then place a siphon hose through tr bottom and fit a cut off valve on the hose. Then I can use a garden hose to fill the bucket, treat the water, and open the valve to let the water in. Seems simple enough but the Bucket will be 5 gallons and with water in it will weigh around 40 lbs. I need some opinion on how to fix a sturdy shelf to a wall or maybe a very tall standing shelf. I know i can just pour the water in manually but I like small projects like this So let me know what your opinion is on this setup.
