Poll: How many tanks do you own? Rec or tek? Boat Owner?

[Steve Barsky]

John,

That's an oversight on my part regarding "0". You're absolutely right - just as I am sure there are divers who don't own regulators but only rent them.... Good point.

Peter says we have 33 . . . I've lost count. I know of two sets of double 100s, two sets of 85s, two sets of 72s, four Al40's, four 130s, two HP100s, two 120s, two 95s, 3Al80s, one funny little short tank, one Al13, two Al6s . . . Oh, and I think there are one or two of the LP72s floating around, too. And for some reason, we always seem short of tanks to dive.

3 al80 stage and deco bottles
2 al40 deco bottles
1 al6 argon bottle

I manage to get by (barely) with 3 sets of doubles (D8,5s for rec stuff, D12s and D18s for the rest) and 3 stage/deco tanks (80cf, 7L and 40cf), and a suit inflation tank. As I store the gear at dive club premises with a whole bunch of other people that's close to the maximum of storage space I can hog... Luckily I do fills at the same place and live close by so I don't need to keep a whole lot of full tanks at hand "just in case". That also means that there's a good pool of loaners available. About the only thing I really need to get more of is al80s for bottom stages...

Those with huge loads of tanks: do you keep them as a "buffer" because of the trouble of getting fills or just because tanks are cheap and you have the space to store them?
