If it's concrete you're going to need a hammer drill, masonary bit, some kind of epoxy/liquid nails/goo to set the hooks in the ceiling. Then some plastic to cover the tank, a dustmask and safety glasses for yourself, and a shopvac to clean up when you're done.

Reefman,

I know at work I've got some Hilti eye bolts, I think they are 1/4" or 3/8" anchors. I'll check tomorrow if I can remember where the hell I put the case. How many would you need?

Thanks, tim. but i haven't got the cables or other tools yet. I have a drill but too weak for the job. I'm still in the planning stage.

Reef,

I'll grab a handful. They'll be here if you need it. The drill too.
