Title: Guppy tank protector?
Post by: Joekrooz on July 24, 2017, 01:54:53 PM
What are you guys using as a 18 cu ft guppy (Joe B) tank protector?  I've seen some using a wetsuit or sweatshirt sleeve, looking for something a bit more custom.   None of the paintball tank protectors are big enough it seems.

Thanks for the replies guys!  I ordered the one from eBay, 20$ cheaper than amazon for same carrier.  I also got info on tank bags at http://airguntailor.com/shop/. (http://airguntailor.com/shop/.)  Thinking about one of the Defender Saddlebag kits for my Great White, a little pricey but they look really nice.

Oxygen Tank carrier from AMAZON:

Will this fit the Benjamin 90ci tank, or is it too big?

That is the one I use.
The blue one.
On my current Benjamin and my new one coming next week.

Home depot "HUSKY" brand small utility bag.  padded with a draw string top and fits a 90 cu in tank perfect.

For my guppy, use that same blue case one, with a coffee container lid.  For the 90ci, use one of those neoprene paintball covers and it is in an O2 bottle backpack.

Retatcdude ought to be thanked for mentionin' it in the first place.  I just like finding the best deals.  Love to stretch my dollars.

Yes, thank you!  I just ordered the $10.00 CaseLogic carrier.  I like the fact it is insulated and has a shoulder strap.  Hopefully, it fits the Benji 90ci tank and isn't too big.

I agree with a poster, I believe it was on Amazon who said that the strap is useless as it allows the bottle to tilt forward.  The D-rings that the carry strap hooks to are mounted too low so it becomes top-heavy.  Design flaw but I am using the Case Logic inside a backpack and intended to from the start so no biggie for me.  That would take away a star and a half if I were to rate it on Amazon. 

I do love that it's padded on the bottom and sides, just not under the blue part which on mine wraps around the neck.  My bottle I believe is longer than most of your buddy bottles.  Those with buddy bottles it seems are lucky as I believe the blue cover covers the valve whereas mine sticks out.  again, it's perfect for my intentions.

Thanks for the compliments.
I just bought another one for my tank coming next week.
Fort the base, WALMART sells a silicone cup/dish camping set.
The dish fits the base of the Guppy and Benji tank perfectly.

They are bright yellow/green in the camping section.

Good luck

Frank, you have a link to these?  My search skills on Walmart site must not be that great, I sure can't fond anything that remotely looks like what you have described!

Thanks...  Looks like they are out of stock at the moment!  Hopefully, these aren't as elusive as the $86 Benji Maximus!
