The Spec Ops Paintball one is nice. Or if you are handy with a needle and thread like me. You can pick up an Airsoft vest and make your own tank holder.

Vests just seem so excessive on the paintball field.  What on God's Earth do those guys shove in those pockets that make them bulge like that?  K rations?  Maybe just paper like at the department store. 
 
Flurry makes a speedball harness that also holds a vertical tank.  Tube holders and the tank holder are ala carte and they attach with velcro  so you can lay out the holders however you want. It also holds a 2 liter hydration bladder.  I love mine. 
 
If I wasn't considering stock class I'd consider ditching my Flurry vest.  I have potential plans for the vest for holding 10 round tubes.

You can also find Molle vests on Ebay and get tank/pod pouches at Rap4, OpsGear,Spec Ops etc. I have a Rap4 one that I rarely use anymore, but liked its mesh design. Biggest downfall for me was the sizing. I was right on the cusp, so I ordered the larger size and BIG mistake. I think it may be the first time that something I bought was too big for me. Fairly majory mods had to be done to get it to fit right.

I have the RAP4 vest as well that i had ordered from Amazon. Its pretty good. Just make sure to get the tank pouch for it as well when ordering. I had a SpecOPs tank pouch that took a bit to figure the best way to mount it.

UTG assault vest.  they are about $30 to $40 bucks, you need to add a tank pouch and the vest holds 100 round pods.
