looking for a better way to install my tank ,i used shoe goo but the tank popped off after a few weeks. what are you guys using?
 
clear silicone.... will stick till you pull it off.... ;) ... scratch the bottom of the tank up good before sticking it down,,, and clean it with alky to be sure its super clean......

I use hair bungees but I have found that platic strapping, Ya know the kind that comes around some heavy boxes, can be used along with blocks and scews for a very "Thin" holder

Thats a great idea!
get some small aluminum tube from the LHS, tap out the ends for 2-56 or 4-40 thread, cut the 2 pieces wide enough to span the inside of the hull side to side...use stainless screws to mount, mount one tight against the tank in the rear (nose of hull) and one tight under the pressure cap on the tank...make it fit snug so it takes a little force to get it out, if you use a flex type tank it's perfect because it will hold it's shape against the pressue of the rods....see the pic of mine below...there are easier methods, but this is bullet proof...
