So I was checking these tanks out and I was wondering if these weigh a ton and whats the re-hydro date on the tanks. I know that fiber wrapped tanks have a 5 year date, but I heard that steel tanks only have a 3 year re-hydro date. Is this true? I'm looking to get one since the fiber wrapped tanks are too expensive for me and 72ci is the largest steel tank. Help is appreciated.

Hows about a 68ci/3000 psi steel tank?

You've got it backwards. Steel tanks have a 5 year hydro. Fiber wrapped are 3 years. Save up for a Fiber wrapped.. It's so much lighter it isn't even funny.

ive got a 72/3000 psi tank its made by PMI for only $125. It isnt really that heavy and it has a 5 year hydro date. Anyone who thinks a tank is heavy needs to work out a little more

Its more complicated then that.

Some steel tanks are 3 and some are 5 year hydros
Some fiber tanks are 3 and some are 5 year hydros.

For the steel tanks, if it says "3HT", then it requires a 3 year hydro. Air American used 3HT steel tanks for the Me'lee system.

For fiber tanks, its more complicated, because some that were 3-year, were later upgraded to 5-year with pressure from the paintball industry.

I'll try to dig up all the information, and make a good sticky for everyone.
