I just picked up a ILPS system by source which means I no longer need an assault pack on my back. My question to you guys is what do you put your HPA tank in?
any advice is appreciated.

I run mine in a Hunt ( Tower Tactical I think is the business name) "crydro". I also run a ILPS, you can't really even feel it at all.

I use a Crye 11x6x4 pouch. $60ish from Crye. I used to have a Hunt "Cryedro," but I found it was a little too small/tight to fit my 68ci/4500psi tank. The Crye 11x6x4 fits my bigger tank fine and has a flap so you can keep the regulator and gauges covered. Better picture (shamelessly stolen)

This thread is perfect timing for me because I have the same "problem" now. Hopefully this "barely a necro" post is alright.
How do you guys like the ILPS? Gimpalong and Pagan, is that what you guys are running for Hydro? or do you guys have a different solution?
Pagan was that a 68ci tank on your rig? I'm getting the ninja 68ci 4500 tank. I'm fine with it being a very snug fit, but if it doesn't fit at all I would obviously use Gimps setup.
I'm sitting in my basement right now with my mayflower APC in front of me trying to figure out how this is all gonna work. Currently I have the LBT multicam hydro carrier which I love, but there's no way I can fit a tank + the hydro in there.
Thanks in advance!

ILPS is awesome, I know I'll never go back. I say if you're thinking about gettin git, just get it and you'll be very happy you did.

I run a chest rig, how should I go about running my tank? You have two options, get a backpack or also run a battle belt. Here is the backpack that I run my tank in, I really like it and it is very low profile. It can either be attached using Molle webbing or can be used as a backpack using the included straps. www.evike.com/products/34533/I don't have any input for a battle belt setup since I have no experience with them. Hope this helps

This is just my personal preference, but it would work for Ogre too. I use a horizontal HPA tank pouch strapped to a battle belt and harness.

Just gonna get a bigger hydro backpack. I'm running Co2 on my tippman so the tank isn't all that big so I should be able to get away with it.

So it looks like the tanks that I had ordered through Amped were back ordered. I sent them an email letting them know that I was really hoping that I could get my gear in by Friday for the No Limits game, and they upgraded my 2x 68ci tanks to 77ci (for free) to get my order out sooner. So it looks like maybe I'll be going with Gimpalongs setup! I also ordered that ILPS so we'll see how that turns out. It looks totally slick so I'm excited for that to come in. Thanks again guys for all your help!

Yeah, dude, you wouldn't believe the number of different pouches and set-ups I tried while trying to determine the best way to carry HPA and water.
ILPS plus a MAP or other lower profile pouch is really the best, most comfortable option that I've found.

The ILPS is just amazing.

I forgot to report back. I got the ILPS and used it at No limits and it was awesome. My previous hydro pouch fit the 77ci tanks mostly, but the reg was sticking out the top. I think I'm going to buy some camo tape or something to wrap around the reg and fittings so they don't visually stick out so much.
