   Does anyone know the difference between a carbon-fiber tank and a fiberglass tank, besides the obvious?
Which one is better and which one is lighter?

	Carbon-fiber is safer/tuffer, have a 5 year hydro-date and I believe lighter. Fiber glass is heavier, have a 3 year hydro-date and is not as tuff. Overall, carbon fiber is better, but there is a world wide shortage, causing it to come in small quantities. To add on to the shortage, the military as priority over sports, making the shipments even smaller...
