I am having the hardest time attaching the waterbottle to the tank! Does anybody have any recommended brands or homemade methods I could try? I would really appreciate it...

You can fix an elastic band around the bottle them make a hook out of strong wire which is then bent and hung over the edge of the tank. Another option is to buy the sticky backed velcro from Staples and put one strip on the bottle and the other on the tank then you can fasten the two together wrapping one round the other. You can buy suction attchments in many stores though sometimes they fall off quite quickly. Some bottles come with a suction attachment such as the Sippy. Look in other sections of pet store for ideas suck as the reptile section. Is it a glass or plastic tank? With plastic you can drill a hole for the spout and two smaller homes for an elastic to support the bottle.
Some pictures of things I did with water bottles. The red water bottle has a hold guard, it comes with a long bendable piece of metal and you hook over the side of a tank, or in this case a bin.
