So I have an AIO 40B and a minimalist stand with nowhere to hide a ton of extra equipment/wires/hoses. I was picturing a 3 chamber reservoir that could hang on the back behind my AIO overflows that could hold maybe 2 gallons of RO/DI and 1/4 gallon of each Alk/Cal. Is this feasible without stressing the glass too much? Anyone have any clever ways of securing top off containers or dosing containers without sticking them at ground level?
 
Id think too much stress on the glass. The ro alone will weigh 16 pds when full.
Can you hang something from the wall behind it?
 
So what I am trying out is a standard breeder box with acrylic dividers silicone in for my dosing and ATO. My guess is that the water will need a separate system long term as it can only hold about 1/4 - 1/3 Gallon... Maybe a float switch to my reef-pi to send me an email if ATO reservoir goes empty.

Amazon product ASIN B005QRDCP2
Will post pictures of my setup tonight but I am hopeful.
