i have no clue

ok so i know, i have done my research. but i read PMI HPA tanks weren't good? is that true. and another thing i want to know is which i should go with fiberwrapped, or aluminum. i read the fiberwrapped only lasted 15 years. and it didn't say anything about aluminum. so i was wondering if there was a life span on aluminums. cuz i would think i would go with an aluminum. are they nice and light?

and which one should i get from this site. i was thinking of going with either a 68ci or 72ci

thanks

yeah id replace any tank probably within 5 years personally.

15 years is a long time

fiber is so much lighter

pmi tanks have super crappy recharge rates.

Aluminum tanks are heavier than fiber wrapped tanks. Tanks have to be re-hydro tested every 3 to 5 years (depending on the specs during manufacture) whether aluminum of fiber. Fifteen years life, if you don't have to replace it due to damage or failure to pass the hydro, is a lot of life. Do you think you will be using the same marker 15 years from now?

Take care on the price. No tank offers enough advantage of any kind that makes it worth over $200.  With a little bit of searching you should be able to find new tanks for around $160 to $190. If you go with a used tank (Ebay) with a year of two left on the hydro, prices can be down around $140 for 68-88/4500. I bought 2 off Ebay for that price...one with 2 year left on the hydro, the other had to be re-hydro-ed before I used it (a 90/4500 Nitro Duck). Cost me $16 for hydro-test.
