[MENTION=2546]gumbii[/MENTION] thank you for sharing the video too! and for your advice! are there any other reasons besides aesthetics/ weight that you wouldnt recommend putting sand or rocks in ?? now that ive drilled into the stud, i think it should hold.

Thank you again for responding and giving me your advice! I ended up getting the stud finder and drilling the brackets into the stud! And I'm currently waiting for the paint to dry before I can see if the pump/plumbing will work haha still have to touch up the wall too :/but i love it so far, it looks way better with the longer shelf too
(unpainted shelf, but with the brackets in the stud!)
