Maybe tomorrow if I'm lucky a 2nd set of LP85s will be born.

I have one set of Al80's (nitrox), plus two more Al80's (nitrox), and 2 regular air Al80's, one AL19 and I just bought an AL40. Plus I have a "D" cylinder of O2 for surface use.
Now that I am taking my Adv nitrox and deco classes, I need to get the little ones oxygen cleaned.
So that's a total of 9 tanks. Just for me. Need to buy some for my daughter now. She's getting certified next month.

8 Tanks:
Double Worthington X8-130s
Double Faber LP-85s
Double Catalina AL80s
Luxfer AL40 Deco Bottle
Luxfer AL30 Deco Bottle
Double Worthington X8-130s
Double Faber LP-85s
Double Catalina AL80s
Luxfer AL40 Deco Bottle
Luxfer AL30 Deco Bottle
Seven. Yeesh, how did that happen?
Doubles:
1 set Al.80s
Singles:
2x HP100s
1x HP119
1x LP95
1x LP85
I need to double up my 100's and pick up 2 more for beach dives where I don't want to lug the LP95 or the HP119, then I *think* I'll be pretty happy with my collection... at that point I'll have 9 tanks.
At least until I get into deco diving and need an Al.40 and a stage bottle, but at least those are cheap!
I shudder to think about what's going to happen when my wife finally gets certified and I need to pick up at least a pair of HP80s for her...

My wife and I have 2 AL80's each. This seems to work fine. Remember they are only good for local diving,(can't fly with them) and when you travel you will be renting AL80's so if you dive with these all the time you won't have to re-adjust you weights.
