My advice would be to get one with a cga347 valve (same as firefighter tanks) as they are the easiest to find a fill station for. The Din 300 valve they use on some the tanks sold by air gun shops seems to not be that common (at least where I live).

most scuba tanks are 3000psi so the dive shops near me use Din200 but find out what your local fill station uses. Beyond that, a tank is a tank.

consider buying a used scba tank if you want to save some cash. eBay is full of them. I currently have three 30 minute scba tanks as they are easier to carry to the range than one hour tanks.

I agree with zebra I love my SCBA and it is free to fill at every fire-station I have been to. Plus it gives you a chance to brag about or maybe even show off the goods. I bought a 45min bottle from ebay with 5 years left on it I just had to pay 20 bucks for the hydro so for the bottle hydro testing and the valve to hook up to my guns it was 220 bucks.

If you are going to fill at home or have access to an Airgun or paintball fill station, carbon fiber 4500 psi is great. Go bigger it costs the same to fill at most places and you'll get many more gun fills. I have a 98 cu ft CF tank and love it.

Here is a view side by side size comparison of the omega 75cf hawaiian pink and leopard print wet suit and JB 97cf---red wet suit. 

this photo gives a whole new colorful look of CF---they be saying---what the _ _ _ _ is that!

I have the 75 Omega. If I were to do it again it would be the 97.

Thank you everyone for all your inputs..

PM if you need a good source for used scba tanks. The store I use always has tons of ex-firefighter tanks and they do the hydro testing in-house.

Where can I find the 2 feet to support the tank. I have a Air Ventury 75 cf .

I got mine at an online scuba shop. Diver's Direct I think. You can get all the armor components there.

Perhaps a bit pricier than some options but I love my Great White tank from Joe Brancato. It's perfect!

 

[7deuce]

I have a Joe B Great White too. The dual gauge setup is superior to other brands. I just bought the armor components on my own to save a few bucks.

@7deuce

agree. It's a nice set up. Like the slo flow valve as well.

The 6.8 L tank is considered a 74 cu. ft. tank.
