Ok guy, i need some advice. I have a classic RT, i run at flatline 68 3000. I bought that tank new.....and loved it, sent it in for hydro, and it came back with the reg messed up. So it sat unused/unfixed, now it needs hydro again, so i just bought another in hydro one off of the forum. I went to fill get it filled yesterday, and the on/off doesn't work. Read online, and found out i need to send it to AGD for that. So know if have two useless flatlines.

I'm tired of the hassle i have with these tanks, i love it but they just seem to be a pain in the butt. The guys at the field said about, getting an ASA with on/off and then you have several back up tanks. I'm not real familar with them, but i take it they work the same as Co2 bottle. Also what about the reg, do i just get an adjustable one, or are they all adjustable? I was told the flatline was the best for the RT, so that's all I've used.

I was looking at this tank and asa

I have red on my gun, and i think the chrome would tie in nicely, but will that setup work?

I doubt that tank will work well in getting you the RT effect. Most screw-in preset tanks (like the one you linked) are set between 700 and 800 psi. You usually need at least 1000+ psi to get a good RT. Some RT valves that are very well broken in may RT at sub-900 psi though too, just depends on your valve. If you want a screw in tank, Ninja makes a regulator that can be shimmed up to around 1000 psi, and I saw over on MCB that they are possibly going to release one that will go up to 1200 psi just for Mag users. If you want an adjustable, look for either a DynaFlow or HyperFlow, both made by Centerflag. Older versions of the Smart Parts Max-Flo regs work very well too.

Take a look here, Zak has put together a lot of information about different regs that work well with the RT.

EDIT: This one would probably work better for you:
