I have a couple of questions regarding HPA tanks. 

First off, can the tanks be used for HPA and N2?  Or do you need separate tanks depending on which you choose?

Secondly, if a marker can run off of HPA, can it run off of N2 as well?

Yeah its all the same thing.

If you buy a nitro tank, make sure you get a High Pressure output tank.  Do you have a tank in mind that you are looking for or do you want a suggestion?

Some suggestions would be sweet.  I've never had the need for a HPA tank until recently; I got an 05 Autococker Orracle Mini w/E2 off of a kid I know.  It has fired less than 10,000 paintballs so his dad is making him sell it.  Which is good for me.

This is true, what was I thinking.

How much do you want to spend on a tank?

Not overly concerned about the cash.  Naturally I am looking for a good deal without sacrificing quality.

I suggest the Crossfire 68/4500.  Great tank for the money and will last around 1000 shots.

Another thing to make sure before you buy it would be, make sure your local field of proshop can fill the tank to 4500psi.  I have 2 proshops and only one can go to 4500psi, the other has to stop at 3000 because they are cheap.
