Not about the risers, but here's some info.

Put a towel on your tank so when you loosen the bars, they will not come crashing down and ruin your day.. Even better, suspend some wires from your ceiling and tie the bars off.

Use a 6 point socket on the nuts holding the current risers on. They are really, really tight so a cheater bar might be in order.
