ABSTRACT:
A bracket assembly for supporting a device such as an air pump along the side wall of an aquarium includes an upper support angle member having a platform extending outwardly from the upper end of the wall, a vertical member having a lower portion extending along the side of the wall and an upper end extending through the support angle platform, and a slidable locking member which engages the support angle platform and vertical member upper end to secure the members together. The support angle platform includes a pair of outwardly extending end posts which are received in holes in the base plate of an air pump to support the air pump in a vertical hanging position. The bracket is compact and readily assembled by hand, reduces vibration and creeping caused by the air pump, and positions the air pump above the water level in the aquarium to reduce back flow siphoning of the water. The bracket also includes holes to receive and position air line tubing connected from the air pump into the water.
