Default Tank Lift!
Went with my own version for about $20 total and a little bit of time and a few pieces (washers) I had around in the garage.
Much better looking and FUNCTIONAL as well....

Nice job DA!
You got to respect the guy that can just see it for how easy it is, then make it happen.

It looks like you used a bottle opener. You know those openers are made from soft metal right? I assume you have something behind it to strengthen the load...

Yeah they are so soft they dulled two drill bits when drilling the holes out to fit the bolts!
These are heavy solid, strong wall mounts.
I do know a little about the integrity of metals!
So thanks for the concern....
