Strengths:

There were reliability problems at first
Review:
I have used this tank for a bout 6 months now and I would say its your standard HPA tank. Its light weight consistent and it holds more shots then a CO2 tank. I did have some reliability issues at first but my local proshop rebuilt the reg for me and it has not had any problems since(I guess I was one of the lucky ones because everyone else seems to have problems with it). Its a decent tank that wont burn a hole in your wallet.
Conclusion:
If you are looking for a tank that works well and wont burn a hole in your wallet go with this tank or a crossfire tank.

It works It works It works It works It works It works
Weaknesses:
Slightly heavy but thats expected being that its a 68/3000 aluminum tank.
Review:
Bought this as a back of my 3A tank. Works just fine for me. Its consistant and it does not leak(knock on wood). Not the best tank out there but well worth the price for a back up.
Works good on my cocker and works good on my tes. On the tes, i ripped it with this tank and it worked fine.
Conclusion:
Ive never seen these go bad. 2 of my friends have the fiber tanks, 68/4500, and they have been working fine for them. These tanks are fine.
Since I first had the Bulldog tank, I have had problems at fields getting it filled because it would leak out of the fill nipple. I have had the fill nipple replaced 2 times and have only had the tank filled about 8 or 9 times. When the tank did work it had some consistancy problems. Overall I have had more bad luck with this tank than I have had good luck.
Conclusion:
I do not recommend this nitrogen tank. I have had many problems with getting the tank filled and also the consistancy when the tank was working.
crossfire(better)
pmi (a lil better)
Guerrilla air (much better)
Marker Setup:
fenix with all ss freak kit dye sticky 3s revy 45/4500 guerrilla air amubush
Strengths:
Thread cover
Weaknesses:
Huge reg
Leaks
Low quality materials
Teflon tape
Review:
The aci reg is horrible and cheaply made my air inlet has worn down much more easily than it should and I had early problems with the gauge leaking. when i first got it filled the air pro at my reguylar field told me i got ripped off with the cheap steel and they had a good chuckle about the teflon tape. they're right to laugh because the reg is a joke. one good thing i can say is that the bottle is normal. i did also have some inconsistancy that wasn't my gun because there's a noticable difference there with my new tank
Conclusion:
Dont buy this system just for the bottle and thred protecter buy guerrilla air which is usually bout $5 cheaper anyway.
It gets a 2 because of the bottle but only a 2 because it's not worth it for a bottle

Strengths:

Weaknesses:
Weak nipple
not drilled for standard nipple
Review:
This tank is good. the TANK is good. the regulator is ok, but is not drilled for regular nipples. what that means is that if your goes bad,which they are notorious for doing, you will have to buy a nipple directly from aci and they dont make em so cheap. the reg is alright, flows well enough. other than not being drilled enough and the nipples usually breaking, its a good tank.nice and light.
the best thing, and what i did, is get a crossfire reg and valve. best in the market. i have a shocker to i got an lp one. great move.
Conclusion:
Pretty good, if your willing to risk having to buy nipples from the manufacturer or getting a new regulator and valve.

Strengths:
Looks good
Weaknesses:
Didn't even get a chance to use the darn thing
Review:
Bought it new, filled it once...didn't last 5min and the fill nipple blew. I was so annoyed, I didn't really care about what actually happened... just that my tank was dead. So the store gave me credit towards a new tank. I spent a few extra bucks and bought a Java 68/4500, which is an excellent beginner tank. I still use it as my backup tank. Point being... spend the money and get a tank that doesn't have a history of blowing up on the buyer.

Strengths:
None
Weaknesses:
Valve, depedability,cheaply made.
Review:
Horrible if i screw in all the way it will burb even on stock cradle. constantly blows the burst disc for no reason. Had to send it to ACI to get fixed. ACI did not comunicate very well when they had it. They could not even tell me why it was blowing the burst discs. When it did work it was all over the chrono worse than co2 with my expansion chamber.
Conclusion:
I have a 3a tank and it works flawless ,comapared to my bulldog tank. When i get my tank back from ACI it is going on ebay DONT BUY A BULLDOG 3 TANK
The only good thing about this tank is that it's cheap.
Weaknesses:
The tank leaks from the valve pin...
Review:
I bought this tank and filled it up a couple of times to test my gun and stuff. The third time I filled it up the guy at the shop told me I had a lead coming from the valve pin. True enough, there was a leak coming from there. I mean, come on, the tank was practically brand new and then this happens...I wanted to chuck it out the window of my car as I was driving home. So I emailed the people at ACI and guess what??? No response.
Conclusion:
This tanks is probably one of the worst tanks ever. Do not buy it, pleazzzzzzz! It will start leaking after a few fillups.
The ACI Bulldog III tank is not a bad tank at all! The only reason it breaks for so many people is that they do not have a fill nipple cover. When you don't have a fill nipple cover, dirt, dust, and unwanted matter gets into your fill nipple, and gets into the regulator. The regulator on this tank is sensitive, so it will basically leak. If you get a fill nipple cover, and you don't mess around with it, you will have this tank for a very long time. ACI has great customer service, so if you have a problem, call them up, and they will fix it. It is a good tank, a bit heavy, and the stock parts could bet better, but it is a great tank none the less.
Conclusion:
Most pro magazines would back me up on this, it is a great tank. The only tanks that are better are the SP Max Flo, and Evil tanks. Crossfire tanks are just as good as well.

Strengths:
Nitro is always better
Mad cheap
Weaknesses:
Had problems when i first got it
Review:
this is the only nitro tank I've been able to use so I can't really compare it to anything else but just know that you're probably going to have problems with it at first. My fill valve had a leak and I had to take it into the pro shop to get fixed before I even had a chance to use it. The fix costed 15 bucks but since then I've had absolutely no problems. IT's really comfortable when your holding your gat and it's really cheap.
If you're using co2 and the your gun can handle nitro, this tank is a good start for everyone who doesn't have alot of cash. If you have the money to spend, get a better tank.
Conclusion:
good for people who want nitro and are on a budget. Be prepared to spend 10-15 bucks to fix it though
