whats about small cylinders (like 20cuf or 1.5 Liter) ?
On mine Rebreather they are then very deep and not recheable.

I think size up to 3 Liter will perfect then.

Yes, the smallest tank size I found that I could reach the valves, and the tanks touch the floor same as the KISS scrubbers, is the 3L aluminum.

Anything smaller (2.5L SS, 2L SS, 14cf AL, etc) is just too short to be practical and look nice/balance.

The 3L aluminum tanks I am using is the new (introduced 3 years ago) Luxfer 3L. The older Luxfer 3L tanks are a little shorter.
