You have to buy special liquid nitrogen freezing capabilities. If you're interested, you can contact Camelot Farms for more info, but it's not cheap.

It has to be stored at a constant -320 Fahrenheit.
Have you investigated some options as to who sells these tanks and what the going rate is?
Here are a couple options that people can get a idea from...Quote:

The problem with self storage is the up keep. I only pay $2.50 per straw per year with my guy. He has to take his tanks to get them filled about every 3 to 4 months. It would be quite a ordeal if he didn't have a lift on his truck. I think it is much safer and economical to have someone you trust store it. Provided you have that option.
