Mike - Shows you the problem with ANDI. My suggestion is never, ever, ever again listen to the people who are feeding you the BS about AL tanks and high O2 gasses. (Rule #1) AL tanks are fine -- zero problems -- with pure O2. The oxidation of aluminum cylinders -- unlike steels -- is self-limiting. Luxfer tanks are O2 clean from the factory; most tank valves are likewise clean. Just put them together with a viton neck o-ring, an oxygen compatible thread lube and go diving. As far as trim is concerned, use AL40s instead of 80s as sling bottles; they're more than enough for most ocean dives.
