Hey guys I'm getting a PT micro emag. I need to know what size tank to get? should i get a 45/4.5k or should i get a 68/4.5k? I will have a scuba tank and play frequently on the weekends for about 3 hours. I'm a front man and am lookin' for the lightest setup, but i don't want to be stupid and get a tank that I will be runnin' out of air on the field with. Also I'm looking to shoot quite conservative.
also what tank brands do you guys recommend? I got about 200 to spend 230 maybe?

I know most people love PMI and crossfire nitro tanks. I have a PMI one and love it. I think you should get the 45 4500. Because your a front man and that should be enough air and also its small.

well it depends on the type game you play
are you a front man in a 3,5,7,10 man?
how much paint do you shoot in whichever you play?

i personally think 68/45 is the best all around tank.
i think they are easier to sell and get more money from them when you do resell

I agree Fire, definately the 68/4500 is the best all around size.

if you only play tournaments and only care about weight/size, go for the 45/45, but with Lev10, and emag is a bit of a gas-hog I prefer the peace of mind that a 68ci gives, I won't ever run out during a game...

i personally prefer the pmi pure energy has a rebuildable reg, 5yr hydro
if not that i would then get the crossfire

nitro ducks would be my last choice of those three if i remember correctly the reg on those is really long
dont get me wrong its still a great tank but the others are better fit for me

Go for a 68/45 Crossfire or Nitro Duck tank. Can't go wrong with either of them. Most reliable tanks I've used, and Crossfires have very high flow rates, which translates into no shootdown at high rates of fire.

yea i think all around the 68 4500 crossfire is the best buy and best tank for the money. Ive had mine for a year and a half and love the thing never let me down. i Never saw any shoot down on my rt or emag.

also im a back player for a 5man and i havent ran out in a game yet. Only close lol

what is it crossfires are like 850 psi and i think nitro's can be adjusted from 0-900psi?
