    What size tank should I get?

    68ci 4500psi. By far the best size to get. I run a 68/4500 Angel Air on my hypermag and works great and isnt to big or small. Low pressure tank means it has a low pressure output. Instead of having 800 or 850 output it has 200-300 output in most cases and is used for low pressure guns. I hope that helps and answers all your questions. BTW, java tanks are made by kingman (the makers of the spyder). IDK if they are any good or not but i havnt heard anything bad.

      I'd like to recommend a 70/4500 Crossfire (HP output). I've had nothing but good luck with the crossfire regs, and the high output tank will allow you to use it on any marker out there (just use an inline reg to lower the psi if you have a LP marker).
      There are three kinds of people in the world: Those who can count, and those who can't.

      With understanding comes understanding.

      If the saying is true that we are what we eat, aren't we all just cannibals?

        Yeah, 70 or 71 ci are good size tanks to use to. The only prob is if you wanna use a tank cover a lot of places dont make covers for that size. Personally i think lok soks or Rhino covers are the best.

            I've got a 91" 4500 tank. I think it's the perfect size for a mag. It's the same length as a 68" tank, but it's got a larger girth. Mags aren't gentle on the air and I like having the bigger tank for the increased number of shots I can get out of it. Then again, I mostly play woods ball and it can be a bit of a hike back to the fillstation

              I also recomend the 68ci /45k systems out there... Not to big ( I use to use a 114 too ) ... and definaly go 4500 if you can afford it, and can get fills for it.

              I shoot two of them both with Air America Set ups the Apocolypse and an Armageddon ... Little more expensive than the presents but with their warrenty and customer service don't feel bad about buying a used one... Adjustable tanks do have their advantages. Be it being able to turn it down to the min to make your mag run to save on air or if you get a RT to crank it up for rapidfire. My Apoc is orginally dated '97 and I have hydroed it 3 times now and it still works as great as the day I got her...

              If you like the presets... the Crossfire is what I have heard the best things about...

              Just another opinion for ya...

                68/4500 is by far the best size. Holds a lot of air, and is very compact. I have a Maxflo, and its very nice; the adjustable output is a very nice feature; allows me to fine tune teh trigger reactivity and velocity. I got it used for $250.

                  if you get a 70 ci 4500 psi, get that and if you dont like it and want a 68ci, ill trade you mine with a dye rhino cover.
                  I wanna X-mag, but im too poor.

                    I went from a 68\3000 up to a 68\4500 and couldnt be happier. Getting more shots per fill (not sure how many more...400 maybe, just a guess). When I refill at the end of the day I always have some extra air in my tank when we get home to clean our markers which is a nice thing.

                      I started off with a 68/4500 tank, but I have recently switched to a 72ci/4500 stubby. I like it a lot.

                          Nitroduck

                          the nitroduck x-stream is a very good adjustable tank and new is only $250! It gives you an adjustable range of 200-900 psi, i have one on my setup and it works great, they come in all different sizes but of all i would say that the 68ci 4500psi is the way to go, 5 year warranty too, definately go with the nitroduck x-stream.
                          :cry: I had a paintball gun and i knew how to use it :cry:

                            crossfires have a 5 year too, and if you get the 70ci stub and dont like it, im willing to trade my 68ci with rhino cover for it, i got it like 3 mounths ago, and it works perfectly!
