Some people glass them in.  I just built some aluminum tanks and I plan on using aluminum angle iron welded to the tank and bolted to some supports that are in the boat.  I don't have any pics.  Hopefully that helped some.

HB mag (RIP) did an article a while back where they glassed in some alum, plate that had studs sticking out of the plate that matched where the tank mounts are. This was a good idea so you would not have to drill holes in the boat hull. I cannot remember the month I think it was last Summer maybe.

My supports are glassed in from the factory.  I glassed some in the back end of the tank and to the floor in the center of the tank.  Well, my painter actually did the glass work ;D.  The boat is at his shop and I will take some pics if I get over there tonight.  As far as the epoxy, maybe someone will reply that has tried it with some feed back.
