A high output regulator will put out a pressure of around 800 or so psi. A low pressure regulator will put out about 400. The best HPA tank for an a5 is a high output tank. So any high output tank will work fine. A low pressure tank will not work very well, and aren't as common as high outputs. If you want to run low pressure, you should get a LP kit, and a secondary reg. Palmer stabilizers, bob long torpedos are decent regs. I use a torpedo on my 98c with LP and it works great for me. Personally I think the best upgrade you can get for your a5 is HPA. Other than that, and egrip or an r/t.

aim 68?? i got no clue

3A tanks are pretty good from what i heard

yes center flag makes nice tanks

on/off means u can have air come out or turn off n air stops comen out

200 4500 psi i got no clue 4500 psi means 4500 pounds per sq in if u get a tank get 4500 psi works the best (more air) 68ci is how big the tank is etha get a 68/4500 or 88/4500
i have a tippmann

just get a Preset Tank

crossfire
Pure energy
ACI bulldog
Nitro Duck

and you need a regulator to go where the hose connects, but that would be bad cause for some reason this gun only runs on low flow high PSI and the whole thing wouldn't work.

dont get a regulator with your hpa unless: yur tank is low output pressure and u want it to be high, in that case get the high palmer stabilizer, or unless u have the lpk and u have a high output pressure tank that u want to be low output  pressure, in that case get th low palmer stabilizer.

for a regulator get the palmer stabilzer. and for your hpa tank get a crossfire. they make the best tanks there are.

to solve all of your problems: just get a preset high output pressure crossfire tank. then u wont need to get a regulator or the lpk.tippmans already workk good at high pressures so why waste all your money on over 200 dollars worth of stuff so that it will woork at low pressure?
