i barely no anything about air tanks so clue me in stuff like if its 3000 psi will it be able to shoot 300 psi or w/e and will 3000 work as good as 4000 psi and other then the tank what will i need to go with the air and which model should i buy i dont wanna spend above 200$

Ok...

Their are a few diferent variasions of tanks. For starters, their is PSI (Pounds Per Square Inch.) Their are 3000, 4500 versions (also some 5000 versions.) Then their is CI or CU (Cubic Inches/Cubic Units.) These vary from 45ci all the way to 100ci (maybe more.) They are most commonly found in 45ci, 68ci, and 92ci Units. Now: The CI/CU determines how large the tank is. I.E. If you were to put water in a 68ci tank, and water in a 92ci tank, the 92ci tank would have more water in it. But unlike water, gas can be compressed more. That is when PSI comes in. If you get a 68ci/3000psi and a 68ci/4500psi tank, the 4500 tank would have more air compressed.

That is what compressed air is (I g2g, so I can't find a tank for you)

The difference between 3k/4.5k psi, is the amount of compressed air inside the tank. It will not affect the tanks performance, just how many shots you will get before needing it filled again. The output pressure of the tank (The pressure it is when it leaves the regulator and into the marker) is what you need to decide more on, if you are using a marker that operates on low pressure, then you would need a low pressure (350-450 psi) output tank. If you have something like a blowback semi, then you will need a high pressure (800-850 psi) output tank.

You can spend as much money as you want on an HPA tank, so choose carefully, but IMO, the best brand of tank out there is a Crossfire one.

Also, if you do not care about the weight, you can get a steel tank for cheaper than a lighter carbon fiber wrapped one. But these can only fill up to 3k psi. So you have to weight your options. Weight + 3k psi = Cheap, or Light + 3k/4.5k psi = Expensive.

And no matter which tank you get, you will want to spend 15-20 bucks on a tank cover to protect it from scratches and dings, some places won't let them be filled up if they have scratches/dents in them, and rightly so. Who wants a super fast hunk of metal flying off their marker and into them?

If you are going with carbon fiber, then I would suggest a crossfire. The regulators that come on the crossfire tanks have about the best recharge rates out of any of them. If you want to go the cheaper(but WAY heavier) route, then get a PMI pure energy.

The size of the tank is really up to personal preference. I prefer a 68ci tank, while a lot of others think that that is too big.
