22 total tanks. not going to get into the specifics cause it don’t really matter. I will say I have a couple steel lp 72’s that are 55years old that trim oh so lovely.
 
Is there such a thing as an addiction to buying tanks? I swear I don't have a problem...except for a lack of storage space.

Over the last year, I've added 9 tanks to my inventory and already have my eyes on another set of doubles...

Current state of the collection:
1x AL6
1x AL13
1x AL15
2x 2L
2x 3L
1x 72
2x AL40
9x AL80
2x LP50
4x LP85
2x LP104
2x HP133

You need some HP120s (God's tank). Lol
 
V8 in the boat
V8 in the van
V6 in the Xterra
1 each for for motorcycle, chainsaw, leaf blower, hedge trimmer, pressure washer, gopher killer.
Add in the spare V8 for the boat that needs a rebuild.
I add up 36 cylinders.

Oh, not that kind of cylinder?

I pitched my S/O on the idea of getting a scuba van....she about killed me. So I guess I won't get to 30 tanks that way...

I miss my scuba van but sadly it wasn't the most practical daily driver and I wanted/needed something that was 4x4 for Mexico. If I had more driveway space I would have kept it.

I "upgraded" to a pickup with a cap on it. I do miss being able to stand up and gear up in the van, especially for snowy or rainy New England days but it is a much better vehicle for Mexico or winter New England driving.

Regarding my cylinder count, it is honestly not as bad as some people. Between my wife and I if I also include rebreather bottles and suit inflations bottles (which feels like is cheating) we are in triple digits now which is scary to me.
