Just wondering what method people use to secure your CO2 tank? Hooks and bungee cords? Clamps? Other?

Mine will be set up inside the tank stand. It's a bit cramped in there so I want to make sure it stays put.

Thanks.
 
Depending on what it backs up to I would use an elastic type bungee cord, 2 one at the upper area and one at the lower are depending what size tank it is I am assuming it is a 5lb, With those you can just un hook them at refill time. The other option would be a velcro strap where the ends are velcro for the release but they would have to be the exact length for your situation, Long electric tie raps could work but the very long ones cost a lot and a PITA to release to change bottles, or if you cut them it gets costly, so a bungee is your best bet.
