I am thinking here that a simple way to do that would be screw them onto the bolts and connect all the bolts together with a wire and tank them.

Lots of ways to mount the bolts if you want something for constant use, or maybe just solder or bolt the wire to each bolt and hang across the tank.

If you have a nice long bolt of the correct size I would say just screw alot of nuts onto one bolt and tank that. Leave room between the nuts of course. I think it should work ok. Remember though you may be plating your bolts as well as the nuts. Won't hurt anything, but will use up your solutions faster plating things you don't need plated!

You could insulate the bolts with paint, tape, tight rubber washers, etc.. so that the bare spots of the bolts don't plate. But, you'll have to be sure your not insulating the nuts too. I wouldn't worry about it for small use, but if you do a ton of them latter I might think about it. Or find a bolts that won't plate but do conduct electric well would be the easest maybe.
