tank for RT pro

[Nexus]

I am looking for a good nitrogen tank in the less than $200 range to use with an RT pro. I think I will either get a 68ci 3000 psi tank or a 47ci 4500 psi tank, but I may get something a bit bigger. The psi will be determined by what my local shop fills (I am not sure if they do the 4500psi fills). If you give a tank suggestion please explain why. I am basically looking for the smallest, lightest, most consistent tank that I can get within my price range.

Due to cphilip's enlightening pounding of a trace of sense into my brain I have decided to narrow my search to a 4500 psi tank that is 68, 72, or maybe 88ci.

yeah I might have an 850psi 68/4500 ACI bulldog tank for sale. Depends on if I get a B2k or not.

Don't make the mistake of buying too little. Doesn't really matter what your shop can fill to. I suggest you go ahead with 4500 PSI no matter what. Then if you do end up playing at a place that can fill 4500 you will be able too. And if you shop can only fill to 3000 then fine BUT if thats the case DO NOT get a small tank. Take that into account. You do not want less than 68ci if thats the fill level you gotta deal with most of the time. Better yet 72 or even 88 if your going to only fill it to 3K most of the time. But do get a 4500. Five year hydro bottle. And minimum of 68 ci for an RT. MINIMUM! Trust me on that. I would personaly get a 88 if I was filling to 3K a lot. At least a 72 anyway.

you can save $100 and buy my tank 88/3000 works perfectly..

i have a centerflag 68 45, and it is a great tank. the new 3a tanks are incrediably small for fiber wrapped tanks, and they come with centerflag regulators, which are very consistent. i hit 284, 285, 286, on my rtp yesterday, and thats with a preset tank!

I'm such an idiot . . . I didn't even consider that a 4500 psi tank could just be filled to 3000 psi. Thank you cphilip for pounding some trace of sense into my brain.

Thanks for the suggestion of the centerflag, barberjohn. It looks like it is about what I am looking for.
