Dave,

I use a 30 ft pony with my 120 (NTX or Bailout) and I use a pony tamer.
I chose the pony tamer so that I could remove the pony underwater
(and have the hoses routed in a simple fashion) and transfer it if needed
It works just fine, and yes, the pony does have its place in diving
where doubles are too much.

Rich,

Do you have any concerns of the ease (or lack thereof) of disconnecting the 
pony from your main cylinder if it gets fouled in anything?  I used to use 
pony tamers but started to worry about that.

It seems that many here recommend attaching it similar to stage bottles.  
What do you think about that?

Thanks.
