I have two AL80s (one for Nitrox exclusively) and one AL63.
 
11 steel tanks

2 small for hubbys MEG (2 x 3ltr)
1 stumpy tank for almitychild (1 x 100cft), and
i have 8 tanks (8 x 100cft-all nitrox)

hubby says no more tanks..... but theres always room for one more!!!!!! :wink:
 
3 AL80N. All nitrox of course. Yeah! Naturally its nitrox!
 
I currently have 4 steel 95s (usually set up as 2 sets of doubles - sometimes one pair has h-valves), a steel 72, a steel 65, 3 Al 80s rigged as stages, 2 Al 40 and an Al 30 - an even dozen, all O2 clean. I sold my double 85s about 6 months ago and only occassionally regret it. In the last three years I also owned HP steel 100s, HP steel 80s, MP steel 72s and a set of AL 80s - all doubled. I sold all of those and settled on the LP95s which seem to be just about perfect for me in terms of weight to volumn and height. I would suggest starting with one pair of whatever tank you choose - and suggest that if you are considering AL 80s, you skip them and get LP 85s instead. They are a little more expensive, but their bouyancy characteristics are much better than AL tanks.

Admitted tank junky,

Me!
Cause I get off work at 6am, sleep till 2, have a dive and go back to work for another 12:)

You do it out of necessity and one is certainly better than none. I said who wants to do just one dive. Diving is like Lays potato chips. Can't do just one! :D
 
Actually one dive fit nicely into the evening after a day at work. But 2 would be nice. :)

How many of you cylinder junkies (I'm getting there) got PSI certified to do your own VIPs?

Pete

4 PST E7-80s
2 PST HP-100s
I have around 30 from steel 100 to 6 cf and anything you can think of in between, such as doubles, 72 cf, 38 cf, etc.
I got PSI certified or I could not afford to keep my cylinders inspected. I know I don't need that many, but I can't resist picking up deals at yard sales, etc.
 
5 - HP 100's
3 - HP 119's
2 - HP 80's
