Mine will be here Friday! On my old tank, I used a Lil wooden mail or paper holder. You know the Lil trays that hold papers on office desk.
I flipped it over and drilled a few holes in the back piece, and installed on stand using a few bolts and washers.
Cost,
Tray $ .99 @ .99c store
Bolts and washers $2.00
Just an idea, you could also purchase the universal acrylic one that fits most dosers for like $30 or the one by bm

I took a scrap of plexi heated it and bent it. Like a shelf. Drilled the holes to mount it and used Velcro to secure the doser.

Thank you for the ideas. I was over complicating it by looking for the "perfect" solution. Dumb by me.

I used blind shelf supports for mine, which can yield up to 50 lbs.

Double sided Velcro (hook and loop tape). You can get really, really strong Velcro tape. Stick one side on the doser and the other side on the roof or side of the stand. Will hold it in place really well and you can take it out any time you need to.
