3400 isn't HP in my book K, these young whippersnappers got you believing an E8 is an HP tank now?
Happy christmas bud!

in_cavediver:You don't. I think his misread it. it takes two identical tanks (models) to make doubles.
As for the regs, while not essential, converting to full DIN is a good idea. (Sea elite has a 200 bar DIN manifold with yoke plugs for use with yoke regs)
For bands, its hard to beat the highland millworks bands.
BP/Wing - not essential if your BC handles doubles but a nice upgrade. a soft pak such as the transpak or o-pack + wing would work as well.
Hoses - My preference is this:
left post - 7' reg hose + BC inflator
right post - 22" reg hose, 24" SPG and Dry suit inflator
Since I never have really learned the right vs left thing, and for you, new to doubles this too may confuse you. The left post is the left outlet when facing your tanks or the outlet near your right arm when wearing the tanks.

nadwidny:Never learned the "right vs. left thing"? Then learn it if you're going to give advice. It's one thing for you to flounder around in ignorance. It's another to try and teach when you don't know the correct terminology.
Jay Roy:I wouldnt listen to this guy...
in_cavediver:I see humor is lost on many or did you fail to see the explanation below as to what is correct and meant?
nadwidny:I saw the explanation the first time. Still doesn't change anything. If you don't know the correct terminology, then don't give advice. Even the crappiest instructors I've ever had the misfortune to run across had the "right vs. left thing" down.
