imo if your buying preset tanks just get one with the output you need, for a mag 800-ish) at a price that will fit your budget i use a ACI bulldog 68ci 4500psi fiber tank..

Crossfires are very nice presets. Maybe a 68/45 one of those.

I just placed an order on a flatline tank by AGD, i allready have a 3a 68/4500 tank, but everything i buy from this point foward is going tward my xmag, i'm getting in alittle over 5 months. a preset tank will treat you good, but if you want that xvalve to rip, i'm taliking 17bps then a nice adjustable will be sweet. the choice is yours, a preset is cheap, but getting a nice adjustable you will know that everything is adjustable. thats my two cents, later.

how does adjustable help with the xvalve?

I recently upgraded from and old Air America 3000psi Unireg to a Nitro Duck X-Stream and so far am extremely happy. The Reg itself is small, light, adjustable, extremely fast, rebuildable, and damn cheap for a 4500psi system.

For me the convenience of being able to unscrew the tank and use standard ASA fittings is also a bonus.

you're triggers reactivity (more or less) is based on the input pressure from the tank. if the tank is outputting 1200psi, it will be REALLY FRIGGIN reactive. if its outputting 650psi it wont be too reactive

How is that 3A treating you? I bought one but have been really busy and never used it yet, except a couple shots in the backyard.

For presets, Crossfire 70/45 gets my vote. For adjustables, it depends on what you want. If you want something performance oriented will bulletproof reliability then get an AGD Flatline or any of Air America's tanks. The only downside is they weigh a little more. If you want something light, the Centerflag tanks and the Mac Dev Conquests are awesome.

Tank works great, haven't had any poroblems as of yet. the reg seems to be very consistant, and the other day at the field i put on a buddies tank and was shocked to find massive shoot down for some reason, he may be having problems with his tank, but i haven't experienced any shoot down at all with the 3a tank.
