Wall mounted QT tank.

It is only 75 pounds. 2 barakets are holding 40 pounds each. It fine with screws. One screw would hold 75 pounds by itself. The wood isn't going to warp. Its fine the way it sits. They make drywall anchors rated for 75 pounds each.

Redrill top holes for lag bolts, and use a wide washer under each head to distribute load. I've had one of these pull out of the wall (wasn't mounted by me!) when using regular wood/drywall screws. If moisture gets to the studs it can be an issue. This was in an older house's separate garage converted to a fishroom, with poor insulation. Lag bolts and fender washers will give piece of mind and additional holding force, and they're cheap.

Wanted to update this thread. Replaced the top screws with lag bolts, just for peace of mind. Placed the QT tank up there and so far so good.
