| Review: |
This tank is an excellent quality tank for the money. I paid $189.99 for the carbon fiber wrapped 68/4500 with high pressure (850 psi) output. Right now my Ion operating pressure is set at 140psi and I shoot a conisistent 275fps at the chrono. The tank is also extremely light and I don't have to worry about the hydro for 5 years. What more can you ask for. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you are looking for a high quality fiber wrapped 68/45 for a great price, then buy this tank. |

| Review: |
First let me say I have NO experence with the regulator that came with this bottle, I bought this setup ONLY for the tank and immediatly installed my SP Max-Flow on it, so as far as the consistancy of the reg I have no input..
BUT what I can tell you is that You will be hard pressed to find a lighter bottle, to say nothing of the fact that it has a 5 year hydro insted of 3.
Before this I had the typical 68/4500 fiberglass carelton bottle.. and on my shocker it made the gun rear heavy.. it wasnt balenced..
this bottle on the other hand,, makes it so the gun sits perfectly even with the center of gravity at the rear of the grip which is exactly where you want it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
A very very light tank that you wont have worry about getting hydrotested for a LONG time. |

| Review: |
The ANS tank wasn't my first choice, a friend was ordering it and i needed it fast, so i ask for a good 68ci 4500 tank, first he was going to get an evil scion tank, but at the last minute he said he'd ordeered the ANS tank.
i was a little uneasy because i'd never even heard of ANS making tanks, but when it arrived it was Sweeeeet!! i've had no problems with the tank other than the nipple came undone just enough that it leaked, which was no biggy, so no harm. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This tank was worth every penny, i would tell anybody seeking a tank that this tanks the way to go, but as i've never owned any other tank, my opinion is rather limited. nonetheless, it works for me and until the tank stops working, i see no reason to switch. |

| Review: |
The 68/4500 HPA tank from ANS is a very light and dependable tank especially for the price. This tank is a little bit shorter then other 68 cu tanks I looked at, i.e. Air america, PMI and DXS. It also felt lighter then the other tanks I actually got to hold.
As for performance, this tank has not disappointed. It is very consistent and reliable.
I found it more consistent then the Air America I tried. I tested both tanks and found better consistency in FPS from the ANS while shooting at a high rate of fire.
This tank comes with both a low (1.5K) and high (7.5K) pressure burst disks. the air America only had the high burst disk. I believe the low pressure burst disk is necessary to protect your marker form up 4500 psi burst f the regulator goes bad.
In the looks department this tank is really nice to look at. Personally I like the tanks that show the carbon fiber weave.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
This tank is reliable, light , well priced and just looks awesome. So for under $200 you can get yourself a top notch tank. So at this point, I don't see any drawback to this tank. |

| Review: |
I recently bought this tank from my local pro shop for $190 new, and i must say this was a bargain. It is lighter and more compact than any tank i have used, and my gun is a lot more balanced because of this. It fits perfectly in the curve of your shoulder and allows you to run faster and more effectively on the field. Also, it lets you fit into the bunker better. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is an amazing tank for the price. It is light and the size of it allows for a more balanced gun and better positioning. |

It's a good buy for an person who's looking into buying a hpa tank. It is very light compared to most others of it's size. Very consistent with air. I use it for my new invert mini (great gun) and it works wonders. It looks great and feels great. I would definately strongly recommend this to you. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great buy |

| Review: |
Well I was saving up for this tank, I wasnt really sure if I wanted it, but after I got it that changed my opinion. It was light and I got alot more shots. The only thing I dont like is that with my old steel tank, they were my little brothers weights. When I sold it my little brother was mad so I just gave him some 5 pounders/ |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you can afford to spend an extra 100 on a tank then do it |
