Best carbon tank for the money?

[Tn_airgunner]

Im looking at getting my first carbon tank and was curious who makes a good one that's reasonable priced. Also how many fill would you get on a full sized carbon tank on something like a marauder for a base line. I've seen on amazon you can get a carbon tank for $280 but it appears to be a China copy cat. Is that safe? And do most carbon tanks come with the gauge and hoses or are those separate?

a good set up will cost you about 300 to 350 for complete set up with about 4 to 5 yrs left on tank.when tank expires a replacement then cost 125/225 dollars for 4/5 year 60min that's a 88cf.
tanks good choices scott/clarion/dagger the trouble getting started is start up cost.once your past that.then you can just shoot you ars off.hope this helps

A tank is the great enabler, once you get set up it opens a lot of doors for you. If you take a 15 year life span and pro rate that annually say 50.00 the figure is not that alarming. Now take the cost difference between a used with an assortment of parts, compared with a new.

A great white fills from 2k to 3k 63 times. They are a little pricey but I got one and the 63 times is what they say.

Its not cheap so Im probably not helping you.....but my great white has been flawless. I have the 2nd guage option so I can see both bottle and line pressure.

Watch eBay, I got a 66 cft with current hydro, with 2 1/2 years of life left for $80 shipped to my door. Make sure it has a current hydro though or you may be buying junk.

I agree with Marksman3006. I have the same setup & it's flawless!

I wanted to go with a dealer for everything on my tank/fill and ended up with a new but born on date of 09/12 30 minute tank with fitting/gauge/bleed/micro hos & foster for $365.00 delivered. You can certainly save money used on say ebay as far as just a tank goes and I have purchased that way before and got a good deal but I had local support if I had needed it then and that is not so now which is why I wanted everything from one shop this time.
