Adding a shelf to my 60 cube.

[jkostedt]

I have a 60g cube that’s been running for over a year and a half. I’m looking to add a shelf on the back by my overflow. Is it save to do so if I drain the tank up to the point I want to place the shelf and then silicone the shelf in place? I thought about getting the shelf that uses magnets but with the plumbing behind it there is no way I could get it to work.

It was the plastic on the back but it didn’t work. I was going to try magnets but got lazy and just bought one already made.
