2 AL80s -- and that is it for the near future. A pony seems like a good idea before I'd get a 3 full size.

Also between my wife and me:

2 sidemount 108s
2 sidemount 95s
6 AL80 stage bottles
14 AL80 K-valve bottles (4 at my mother's and the rest because we're independent instructors)
2 AL40 O2 bottles
3 AL30 pony bottles (2 at my mother's)
2 AL13 pony/argon bottles

The 95s used to be doubled and we used to have a set of double 85s.

And yes, I am planning on buying more!

Well they used to be dirt cheap in comparison. But with the cost of AL skyrocketing, that price gap is closing. Soon steels will be much more in common usage.

We have : 2 AL 80's
2 SAL 80's
1 AL 63
BUt the list will be growing soon as my husband will be going to steel 100's or 120's and we want to save these for air so we will be getting others for Nitrox......never have enough good tanks....just look for the bargains on the new ones....pawn shops are a great place to find tanks that have only been dove a couple of times in the ocean so people sell them thinking they have no place to dive around here.....their loss ...our gain.

I have 2 - 80 aluminum, I never thought I would have any need to have my own tanks, but it is sure nice having them ready when you want to go diving, especially if you are going someplace where they do not rent them, you do not have to worry about picking tanks up from you LDS and returning them.

We have two steel HP100's and two steel LP108's. All of our tanks are oxygen clean for nitrox use. When we dive air, we get nitrox compatible air. Over the winter we'll be adding two sets of doubled AL80's though. Just a question of when we actually go make the purchase since the new tanks will come complete with two sets of doubles regs, and new dedicated bp/w setups for the doubles. If only diving weren't so expensive....
