    Setting up Freon Recovery Station/s...

    Hi there
    we are ready to take it to the next step. Getting a second warehouse and will have enough space to do our own refrigerant recovery.
    I got the 70+ page report and got the basics down.
    Just wondering a few things.
    I need at least 1 tank per type of refrigerant. We do 98% fridges/freezers and a few occasional AC units.
    So am I correct that I need one tank each for R12 R22 and R134A? Am I missing anything?
    Ideally 2 each, but here is the next question.
    All the equipment runs me about $100 correct?
    And the tanks are extra. Should I get 30 or 50 or whatever size?
    Seems based on eBay pricing the 30 and 50 lbs tanks are most cost efficient. Plus the bigger ones would take forever to fill at this rate.
    I know freonguy says something about one station per type of referigerant to be efficient. makes sense if you do dozens a day. Well, we won't have that many. So it would be ok to use one station, just make ultra certain not to mix types of refigerant right?
    Any basic advice how to set it up most effienctly?
    TIA
