A typical scuba regulator will drop the HP pressure down to about 170psi and I would suggest an additional regulator that is adjustable and will drop the pressure again to 150 psi max.

You can view ours at prhsrobotics.com under outreach. It is built on the same principle that you are using.
Yup, I am using one as a high pressure storage tank, and the other as a firing tank. Thank you for the insight on the regulator and the airflow out of the accumulator tank, I will keep those in mind.
