HPA and nitrogen use the same tanks.
I would go with a 68/4500 carbon fiber wrapped tank. It's not too small, but it's not too big either. You can either buy new, which would cost $180-$200...or new, which could cost you anywhere from $80-$150 depending on brand, condition, and how many years are left on the hydro date.

this man speaks the truth. Just screw it into your gun and away you go.
However, it would be slightly helpful to get an on/off. This will make removing the tank from the gun MUCH easier. In my personal experiece, ive had trouble removing HPA tanks from some spyders.

You don't have to buy anything specail for your spyder to work off HPA. You have to make sure you buy a high pressure tank though or else you won't be getting enough pressure from the tank to fire the gun. The gun may fire, but your velocity won't be very high.

yep, on/offs are great. Really make it easy.
The big thing about hpa is that it is a clean i guess "fuel" for the gun. co2 can have dirt and stuff in the tank which higher end guns don't like. so this sets you up to a upgrade in a better gun.
Also, these tanks will increase your consistancy greatly and allow you to shoot as fast as you want in any weather. No more stuttering of the gun b/c it is cold out or you shot too fast. A side effect of consistancy is your accuracy will be a little better also since the air is at the same pressure each time.
