    well our place uses regular 80cubic foot scuba's then puts them on a booster.

    now they have a compressor

    thouse scuba's run about 90 to 110 here

    130-160 new

    i have one and i love it


    now for them big onces that look like them tall co2 tanks i think they are well over 200 bucks mabey more. not sure on the size of em.

    if i were you i would just get the 80 cubic foot one.

    i had mine for a year now and i love it.

        and also, do any of them go up to 4500 psi? or are they all 3000?

          you can get both but the 4500 are ALOT of $$

          mine is a 3000

          the fill station dosent really matter as long as it works and is not over 40 bucks

          not sure were offline were to get em

          search your yellow pages for a scuba shop

            Luxfer makes all kinds of tanks, but you will have to contact their distributors to buy them. I lloked up their HP tanks (something like 110 cf and about 4500 psi including 10% overfill) and it was about $400 and that is just the cylinder, no valve! Any of the high pressure scuba tanks are going to run you more, they will likely be steel also. Do your homework and make sure you get the correct vavle on the tank also, not all will be compatable with a fill station. You would also likely be better off buying/renting the tank from where you be getting it filled at. Just because you have a tank does not mean all places will fill it for you! Most scuba shops require you to have a Padi certification to get fills. They may be more lenient however if you buy the tank from them and it is marked for "paintball use only". Welding supply shops are also good places to look into.

              Slightly off subject

              Along the same lines, where would one find a "booster" or "recompressor" or whatever they are actually called, that would allow you to yield higher pressure fills from the lower pressure scuba tanks ?
