if your going to get nitro i suggest 4500psi there a little bit more, but they have more shots per tank. i think its 10shots per ci in a 3000psi and 15shots per ci in a 4500 tank. correct me if im wrong.

I think it would be a good idea, but they have most of that stuff in the über faq.

They have one, but it doesnt explain the difference in sizes and different brands and such. Its very vague.

Is this true?  Although Air and Nitrogen are different in the world of science and everything but paintball, I am almost positive that they are the exact same thing in paintball.  I am sure that it is all actually compressed air, but some people call it nitrogen because air is like 70-80% percent nitrogen. 

I am almost sure you could mix them since they are the dsame thing, just labeled differently.

With a 68/3000 tank you get almost 700 shots I think. Thats why I prefer to have a 72/3000 instead.

it means PSI that it is.

3000 tank holds 3000psi of air.

4500 holds 4500psi

Go here with any questions regarding HPA/Nitro.  You should also think about signing up on PBN because the Newbie forums gets thousands of people daily im sure.  Many people's problems are solved very fast.  Im not saying that this forum isnt great because it is one of my favorites, it is just that misinformation is rampant on these boards.
