AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
I use three 80cf tanks in a cascade. Generally there are about 5-10 people that tap off them and can have a usable amount of air most of the day. By usable that is taking into consideration that not everyone is going paint crazy and that I am the only one using a mag. It stinks that once I am at 1k psi that I have to tap them again.
I would agree with the "roughly" 300 psi per fill to a 68ci tank use. I cascade mine to get better fills longer in the day. It is imperative that you keep someone around that is familiar with this and make sure and swap your fill station to the low tank EVERY time you are finished filling. One person sneaks out of the woods and hits the top tank to fill and everyone is screwed. I normally will just stash the fill station between games to avoid that happening.
Several of my friends got together and went in on additional tanks so its not uncommon for us to have around five.
I would recommend that since you are looking into a tank, go ahead and spring for the 100cf tank. Its is worth it in the long run.
Also talk to your local dive shop and make sure that you can work out with them to fill your tank without a diver cert card. My local shop just asked me to slap some paintball stickers on my tanks so that no questions would arise.
