[QUOTE="dun, post: 449698, member: 34"] Haven;t paid attention to brands for the past few years, but any [b]new[/b] tank by a reputable manufacterurer will work. You won;t be worried about semen capacity, your interest will be in the largest nitrogen vloume and smallest neck opening. The volume of nitrogen and the neck opening are 2 of the factors that limit holding time. Becasue of the issue of hauling the tank to your local nitrogen supplier a 4-6 month hold time would be the minimum I'ld look for and the longer the better. Within reason of course. You don;t want one so big you can;t lift it in and out of a vehicle. Some companys that supply hospitals are also willing to fill smaller tanks, you might want to check about that also. Our tank gets filled every 4 months and costs 20 bucks. He comes to the farm with his nitrogen trailer and fills it on his normal route. A number of years ago I had a 3 hour drive each way to get mine filled, a real pain in the butt. [/QUOTE]
