Default Re: airgraver power supply

I picked up the high pressure tank used in paintball guns (called "Markers").
It is made of carbon fiber and has a 3000 psi rating, for this you need a good two stage regulator. I haven't found the right one yet to get the pressure down to about 300 psi so the second stage can be connected.
Diving regulators might work if you can find the regulators for a "Hooka" set up.
For you folks in the midwest areas of the country, a Hooka is a diving set-up that uses a long hose and an air supply on the boat/raft. Either a compressor or air tank is used to feed air to the diver.
Because the diver doesn't carry the tank, it is easier for him/her to stay down longer and get into those little holes the lobster like to hide in.
If you find a two stage regulator that will do the job, please post make and model.
Thanks,
Tim
