tanks

[netmage]

my lfs guy figured betwen 350 to 400 each for the 130s. so i'll just wait. i'm 6'4 so i can take the bigger tank.

JoeDelt,

Those tanks you borrowed at the last M&G were PST E8-119's....

I prefer the 120's but I am now using the 130's
I really do not know where you all are buying your tanks? I bought my PST E8-130's in Bradenton Fla. for $265 each....NEW!!! At the dive shop on Anna Mariea Island. They Also have them in Stock..( I forgot to mention I used to live there and now live back in Michigan).

I own PST's 80, 100 and 120 tank and my favorite is the 100. I am 5'10'' and its a perfect size. The 120 is nice for the gas but a little bulky on me. Aren't the E8-130's huge?

The 130s are a little longer than the 100s (but still shorter than the 120s), but 3/4" more diameter. They're fairly large.

The 130's are about 2 inches longer and 2 pounds heavier.

I own 2 PST 104's (my singles) and Double 130's. I am also 5' 10". and I trim out nicely with either

I'm thinking about putting together PST 100's for a second set of doubles.

are the 130's huge?.........Just a little longer and a little heavier than the 119's But more gas!!

That's why I ordered the 130's myself. I am taking Normoxic Tri-Mix starting in a couple of weeks and will be finishing this summer. I want that extra gas at 185 ft. or so .

Ya know, Brian, $800 WILL buy an awful lot of beans!
