I run my Phantom with a 68ci fiberwrap tank and a LAPCO dropforward. Fits me just right and balances great. The extra weight keeps it nice and steady when pumping. Sure its heavier, but I like a little heft to my markers... and I don't have wussy arms :p Liquid when running co2 is not as big an issue with a bottomlined pump. You're not firing as fast so a vacuum doesn't suck it up in there. Tilting the marker down a lot will do it, but years of experience keeps me from doing this. Also, have u considered a properly set-up anti-siphon co2 tank? You will still have to mess with velocity a bit, but not as much with HPA. The down-the-barrel adjustments are easy too. Also, buying a quality HPA tank now means not having to buy one later if you decide u want an ElectroAutoBlastmFlatter. All my markers are sized to fit the same HPA tank !
