How do I mount a 10 gallon wall aquarium?


Question:What's the best/sturdiest way to mount a wall aquarium to a wall made of drywall and wood (2"x4") studs? The aquarium holds approximately 10 gallons. The hardware I recieved with it are concrete anchors. Can I use these effectively in wood studs? The casing of the aquarium is made of particle board and layered with brushed aluminum. I'd say it's about another 10 pounds added to the total weight.

Answers:
I would use some 1/4" x 4 1/2" Lag bolts and nuts and washers and go all the way thru the studs.
