    Need help finding good nitro tank for UNDER 180.00

    I've been looking for a 68ci 4500 psi Nitro tank for under 180.00 (new). All I can find are ACI Bulldogs for under 180.00 and pbreview.com says they suck. Anyone have any other ideas (I was also thinking 3-a but I dont know if I trust them).

    Also, how big of a difference in size is there between a 88ci 3000 PSI and a 68 ci 4500 psi? I might consider a good 88 3000psi (I need a tank that will shoot 800+ shots on one fill).

          I've had nothing but a trouble-free experience with my 45/45 ACI tank. I bring close to 900 paintballs on the field with me and with a full fill, I can shoot them all (with lvl X).

          That said, I'm patiently awaiting the arrival of my Flatline.

            Although I do believe you never had problems with your 45/45 ACI tank, the fact is that ALOT of people have had problems with them.

                does anyone know if a Centerflag 68 ci 4500 psi nitro tank with a output of 750 runs good on a classic mag?

                  The Air America web site - search air america or some such, has Raptor Rex adjustable 68/4500 for like $180

                    Ok, bulldogs suck? I have a bulldog III 45/45 and 68/30 ... both of which are quite nice. I dont get dropoff at all, and are pretty consistent at a fair price. Pfht.

                      Most 88's are the same length as 68's, but just fatter. However, SOME old 88's and non-popular brands are as fat or close to a 68 and just longer

                      Do youhave a pro shop near you?

                        it has been said b4 that their customer serv. sucks and that the tanks break down.

                        Corbet, listen to Lohman446 and look into the raptor. I used one b4 and its a nice tank. Only thing i didnt like was it had no on-off but o well

                          So because something has been said, it makes it true? I can fly, did you know that? I had abulldog II as well, performed perfectly.

                            You should get more shots out of a 4500 PSI 68 tank than a 88 3000. A 68/45 should get about 1020 shots out of a single fill depending on what pressure you are running - this may not be directly true, the formula I have been told is 100 shots per CI in 3000 PSI and 150 in 4500 PSI though I have never tested it. I currently am running a 88/4500 PSI tank on my smart mag and have never had an issue with shots at half a case of paint.

                              Well I decided to just buy a Crossfire 68ci 4500 for 190.00. Oh well, I would have gotten the Raptor but I wanted a on/off and such.
