I am just wondering about my options here, does anyone know of ANY mods ftb or not, that have ANY kind of portable tanks OTHER than Thermal Expansion. Someone mentioned Tinkers Construct's Seared tanks, but they dont hold much. I am looking for an alternative to TE's tanks because they are portable but I dont really want TE in the pack I am making at the moment...
Portable tank question

Extra Utilities drums are very good. There's also open blocks tanks which I think are portable, not sure about that one.
Drums from extra utilites really the best. They hold 255 buckets and stack.
Speaking of Capsules, Magic Bees brings Magic Capsules and Void Capsules. Magic Capsules hold 2 buckets each and stack to 64, giving you 128 buckets in an inventory space. Void Capsules hold 8 buckets each and stack to 64, giving 512 buckets per stack.
Openblocks tanks are indeed portable and stackable to 64. 16 buckets x 64 tanks = 1024 buckets for each inventory slot.
I've had some lag from lava in tanks, but that's the only fluid that has given me any grief. But again, YMMV.
Animations don't cause lag - might slow your frame rate, perhaps.
My lava tank only gives me problems when the liquiducts/fluiducts/whatever they're called now are filling it. Large lighting updates as the lava goes through them. Should've used the solid versions.

Openblocks tanks do cause a tickrate hit in large quantities, each tank block uses about 3 microseconds according to the Opis report, by comparison many machines are in the 20-30 range, so 10 tank blocks = ~one machine and a large tank can contain a couple of stacks of tank blocks. Or at least that was what I found, I prefer to use DynamicLiquidTanks2 for my tanks since the actual tank blocks cause no tickrate hit at all and the controller for the entire tank is around the 1-2 microsecond mark on it's own even with multiple liquids in a wierdly shaped tank, they also render the liquids far more nicely.
