Well if its 16'', it should be able to lie flat on the shelf. Thanks.
just remember that CO2 is partially liquid inside the tank. some tanks will allow liquid to exit the valve, which would get into your regulator, which you dont want. other tanks have sort of a dip tube inside that prevents liquid CO2 from coming out. those are the tanks which you can lay down. the ones without that tube you should use standing up.
+1 to above, I would recommend not mounting your Co2 horizontally. You will extract liquid Co2. This is not good for your regulator.

These are standard sizes. Hold true for my 10 and 15# tanks.

How many kegs can a 5lb and 10lb carbonate?

I think standard is 4-6 kegs carbonated and dispensed with 5 lbs. Double that for 10 lbs.
