I just thread a solid weight through the tank strap just like on a weight belt. My BC has two tank bands and the tank does not slip.

There's always the buy-a-cheapo-weighbelt-and-cut-it-down approach, use standard weights with the half-twist on the belt to keep them in position.

I actually tried this at first but the weights took CHUNKS of paint outta my tank. I did think about trying a set of the coated hard weights, but they dont sell them in my area. And by time I paid for shipping, I would be better off getting the xs scuba pouches

Totally understandable. I actually use a standard 4lb tank weight, plus weight pouches. (the pouches are when I need to balance my pony). At $9, the XS pouches are cheap compared to most scuba items.

Yea i was gong to get the pouches at first but I just kinda had an urge to try to make something diving related

I cant make a regulator of course so I figured I would try and make a weight pouch
