    I read somewhere that the only real thing that damages a tank is the hydro testing process. If that's true a tank that has never been retested should be safer than one that has been 3 times.

      I know a guy that would use a Sobe life water label cut to size in his window for an inspection sticker for like 15 years lol. He would change it out for the correct color. Now it’s attached to your Registration likely because of people like him. I couldn’t believe How long he got away with it for.

      I used one for my superman slide practice dummy gun.

      Drilled a hole in it so it couldn’t be accidentally filled.

      The whole setup was a spyder, expired tank, and broken halo covered in duct tape. We used to train new team members to dive without trashing their actual setup

      The lamps are a great idea, especially if there are great graphics as well.
