  luxfer 14 cu ft 2015 psi aluminum. Argon comes at 2600, and the idea is to 
keep the prssure low so as not to stress the reg and the volume high - never
mix 
it with anything else as it will ruin the effectiveness of the argon. Use a 
prssure relief valve in the reg so as to not lose the hose or drysuit valve on
a 
creep. Mount it upside down with a pony tamer to the left tank so you can get 
out of it if stuck, and you can reach the valve. For short dives you can use
the 
1/2 litre bottles and slide them on the left side of the waist strap by making 
an oversized belt loop ( so it will go over teh D rings ) and use a small piece 
of bungee to loop over the top of the bottle to hold it back against the 
backplate. For large bottles this style binds the wings and gets in the way of 
proper stage bottle flow, but then if you are doing a dive where you need less 
argon you will not be using a stage bottle anyway. Do not put it on the same 
side as the light or yuou can not reach around the tanks to untangle yourself. 
Use a 24 inch hose and run it under the belt
