Alright, I'm looking at a steel HPA tank online and was wondering if the weight of it would basically rip the threads off a gun. The tank is approx. 3lbs.

No. I do not recommend starting off with a 3000. Save money and buy a 4500 psi tank.

When I ref and fill tanks up at my field, I do notice that the 98's ASA's so start to wiggle and come loose after a while with their 3K HPA tanks. But, they are not stripped and all I do is tighten them back up and they're fine.

Since I used a 90/4500 on my phantom once, you'll be fine. And to give you an idea the 90/4500 was like 4lbs, my phantom was less than 2lb's.

If you look closely, I answered your question.

In case you cannot find it I will make it stand out a little.

You will be fine. If the asa gets loose, just tighten the two screws and you will be good to go again. You could always loctite it with blue loctite for extra hold.
