Look into steel HPA tanks. They are heavier than the Carbon fiber wrapped ones, but considerably cheaper. I found a 72ci/3k tank at Action Village for around $48 about a month ago. Just make sure you are getting a tank with a high pressure regulator. Besides Ebay, a couple of places to look are:

One thing I've noticed with my A5 is that the cyclone doesn't always work with my HPA. It works EVERY time with CO2 though...
The cyclone relies on blowback gas that bleeds off during the recocking process. Only thing I can think of is that the CO2 is still expanding at that point, which allows the cyclone to work. HPA doesn't do that...
