I was looking at different brackets but the mrs. actually picked these ones so I should be safe ;) :D

I figured the shelf wasn't too bad of an idea, so I can mount a fan on there to help cool the water. The light blows me away.. allthough the mogul night light on it does not seem to be working so I sent a message to J&L to see if they can repair/replace it. I'm happy so far though.. a pretty penny spent but I can get the full lighting cycle I wanted.
