5 year hydro for aluminum and steel scuba cylinders, visual inspection once a year. 5 year hydro for new fiber wrapped HPA paintball tanks, 3 year for old fiber wrapped paintball tanks.

yeah what robdamanii said. (taking my open water certification right now and I was so mad my pb tank doesn't have an unlimited life span like a scuba tank does.)
