First of all, thanks for posting and congratulations on keeping yourself calm and alive with a good buddy.
There is one HUGE downside to tank bangers that people have not mentioned yet and that is the fact that especially in popular dive sites with lots of sealife people tend to use them for everything but "neccesseties". They keep banging them to point out every little bit of sealife they come across and you get to a point where you just ignore the banging unless it sounds like its someone dieing who does it.
Also, all that banging for every little crab or parrotfish scare away the really cool stuff like sharks..
