Am i going insane or how many tanks you need :)

[Jim Ernst]

let me count the tanks in the garage...
Two mp100's that i use for single tank diving
one hp120 that gets used only for socal dive boats
two hp80's that my daughter uses
two al80 deco tanks
two al40 deco tanks
two al30 deco tanks
one al30 pony tank
one al80 neutral tank that i should cull out.
One set of lp108's
one set of lp95's
two lp45 deco tanks
for the compressor and/or mixing gases: 5 bank bottles, 1 oxygen bottle, 1 helium bottle.

Almost all get used on a regular basis. :shocked2:

Man, I only have 4 tanks (2 HP 100's, 1 HP 119, 1 LP 108). I feel very "little". I better buy some more (and help the economy).

In the interest of protecting the environment and reducing waste, I hereby nominate myself as the Northern California Regional Unwanted Tank Depository.

 

[Chuck Tribolet]

7 HP100s
2 HP80s
2 AL80s (which I need to get off my butt and sell)
1 AL18ish stage.
1 AL11ish that I have argon I can transfer hose in a pinch
2 LP8 Argon bottles

All the HP tanks are so we can get through a holiday where the shops are
closed early the day before, and all day on the holiday.

I'm (as of a couple days ago) up to...

2 x HP100
2 x HP80
2 x LP85

The HP100s are my go-to tanks for singles diving. The 80's are backup tanks for ocean days with classes (I can usually do two short OW class dives on one 100, but just in case...), or if I'm thinking I might need to drag somebody around a bit.

The 85s are my latest addition and are just sitting there with a few hundred pounds each, anxiously awaiting the purchase of some 7" bands and a manifold. I picked up the set used for under $200, and they're in decent enough shape to make for some good introductory doubles.

Congrats on the 85s -- they make wonderful doubles!

 

[mikemikethepike]

I think I am well under control:

HP120x2 as my Doubles
Two Aluminum 80's for stage/deco
Two Aluminum 40's for deco
One Aluminum 6 for Argon
And a spare Aluminum 13 that I currently do not use for anything and should be sold or traded for another Aluminum 6.

I may add another set of doubles for when I start diving mix, so that I have a set ready with 32 for recreational dives. Perhaps a set of neutral aluminum 80's, a set of HP100's to just another set of HP120's.

 

[ONESPEED]

I have:

4 HP100's
2 HP120's
3 HP 130's

Next purchases, a couple of sets of LP 85's doubled and a couple of stage bottles. It never ends....

Doubles! Awesome Brian! You're going to love them!

Damn, I rinsed my gear off this morning from yesterday's dive and noticed two more LP95 singles that I forgot to list.
