aha! I called colby and he explained to me something so simple that im not sure why i didnt understand before.
so i wont need a shelf, and it'll hold the weight because....every single baffle is holding it onto the tank! so basically, there's almost 8 places where it's held on!
and also, dont forget i said when completely full (might not be the exact quote)
it will hold 5 gallons. now who you you know that runs a fuge/external overflow full to the brim?
