Beware of breeding tanks

[formernuke]

I know some people who like AL 72 for bailouts

So this begs the question: what drives you to get more tanks? Do you want to be able to do more dives without having to visit the fill station? Do you want to have a better selection to match a dive, like with different mixes in them?

Different tanks for different applications. I have a couple steel 72s for normal, short dives, a pair of steel 130s for long dives, and an AL40 that is my pony. I also looking for a couple more AL40s for rescue work so that I don't have to take apart my pony rig for races.

Also, sometimes tanks come as part of a package deal or people offer them to you free.

It’s a mental disorder.

They breed, haven't you been paying attention??

Seriously different tanks for different applications especially if you do something foolish like tech or CCR.

at somewhere nearing 30, I started wrapping them in garbage bags to act as condoms,,,,,

Why do you need 30? Do you have a dive centre?

Three recreational divers in the family + my technical gear + some novelty types for vintage stuff...

Somebody asked me today and I honestly replied "I don't know."

So I counted this afternoon. 37 sitting here. And I've got a line on 3 more I really kinda want.

But I just looked at my calendar and I've got 20-24 dives scheduled in the remaining days of july, and so far August has 25-30 before leaving for Roatan towards the end of the month. That will take a lot of tanks and I don't want to pay for short fills at the lake when I get free fills back here at the club/shop.

Is your boss looking to hire?

My LDS has an older Luxfer al 100 for sale for $200, has a pro valve, boot, current hydro and current visual inspection. I want something so I can keep my regs pressurized while I clean my regs.

My dive buddy uses more air than I do so I really don't need a 100, but I also am bad about polluting my first stage by hitting the purge when cleaning regs and I have nothing to pressurize my regs with. What should I do?
