I've searched a bit and haven't found an answer... I'd like to use a float valve on a glass tank without drilling it. The tank has plastic bracing about 1 inch wide.

The float valve:

It's something I haven't worried much about since I figured I'd stumble onto some sort of tank clamp I can drill through. But I just haven't found anything yet.

Any ideas?
 
I attached my float to an acrylic bracket with plastic bolts to secure it onto the glass divider
What is the bracket like? Is it similar to the Eshopps one @cmcoker linked to?

Something like this maybe?

Thank you for the link. I had that in my BRS cart to purchase a couple days ago, but held out due to the plastic bracing the tank has. I'm topping off a 20g tall as my topoff reservoir. I'm not opposed to pulling out the Dremel to hack at the bracing a bit, but I thought I'd see if there was a solid alternative first.
