I'm gettin an 05 Speed so i can start hittin tourneys next year.  I need a new tank now.  What do ya'll recommend playin with.  68/4500 (been playin with 68/3000), would a 72ci or 88ci be too big or is it that much of a difference.

I prefer a 68/4500. 88's feel a little heavy, but I've used em and ya don't really notice after a game or two. But I'll stick with a 68.

The 45/45 is small and really light especially if its carbon fiber wrapped.

Waterhose...

If you play front you will be shooting very little so air capacity is minimal... size is more important to help you shrink your profile.   A 45/4500 would probably be your choice.

If you play mid you will be shooting more, I would suggest a 68/4500 or possibly a 72/4500 stubby(actually depending on manufacturer it may be a 71/4500 or even a 70/4500).   These are the most universal sizes.

If you are a back player... at least a 68/4500.   If you are playing 5-man tourneys you will probably go through 3-5 pods plus your hopper in a full game.   The 68/4500 is great for that.   If you are playing 7-Man or 10-Man... then you will need an 88/4500.   The problem is the the 88 cu and up tanks are pretty big.

Good luck... I hope that helped.

i have a 68/3000...it works fine, but stubbies and peanut tanks are very nice for low profile. id say go for a 72/4500. most are pretty close to the same size except 114's(most r extremly long) and peanuts(very tight and small)...

68/4500 and 72/4500 are about the same, unless you get the stubby 72.
i used to have a 68/4500 on a rail and it was perfect. now i have an evil
scion and it is a 68 as well
