buying bko, have questions on compressed air

so, im gonna buy a bko and of course compressed air. so, im gonna buy a scuba tank to fill my compressed air. do i have to buy a nitrox scuba tank or just a regular one? does the psi rating on the scuba tank have to match the psi rating on the compressed air tank? also,if there is anything else you guys can tell me, please let me know. also, whats a good bottom line, adapter block etc, etc, to get for the BKO? thanks again.

remember. most scubas are either 2500 or 3000 psi max. so thats all you'll get out of a fill(remember i'm talking about the strap on ure back type scuba). to get full use out of a 4500 psi hpa tank you'll need a higher psi source tank. not sure wat all you need to fill one. basicly the proper line w/ a quick disconnect i guess.

you need a fill station($50ish) to fill from a scuba to a hpa tank... just buy a regular scuba tank, get a 3300psi tank for 3000psi fills. It's best to have your scuba higher than what you plan on filling. But a suggestion is the next time you have a hpa question, ask in the air systems forum.
