There are two ways to test if your Co2 tank is a siphon type tank.
(1) Look on the side of the brass valve for either an "S" for siphon or "DT" for dip tube that would be used to draw the liquid from the botom of the tank. Either of these would indicate a shipon type valve.
(2) If you do not find the "S" or "DT" on the valve there is a good chance that it is not a shipon tank. You can do a second test to verify this. With the tank upright and securely supported, open the valve and watch the discahrge. If it looks like snow and falls to the floor you have a siphon tank. If you get just gas and no snow, it is not a siphon tanks.
Caution Co2 is very cool and and burn skin. Be sure to protect yourself when performing this test.

Is anti siphon CO2 the same as an asa dovetail?
An anti- siphon co2 bottle is a co2 bottle where a brass hose is pointing upwards, so liquid co2 will not enter the marker. A dovetail is a way of attaching your ASA (Air Source Adapter, aka where you screw your tank in). Instead of screws, a dovetail ASA is mounted using rails.
Does a c02 tank have to be used upright?
A CO2 tank does not necessarily have to be upright. It depends if you want liquid CO2 or gaseous CO2. When I purchased a CO2 tank for a specific application, namely, CO2 snow cleaning, I had the option of getting a tank that either had a dipstick, that picked up liquid CO2 from the bottom of the tank, or one that had no dipstick so that it collected gas from the top of the tank. I selected a tank without the liquid pickup. So, my upright tank output gas. However, if I wanted liquid CO2, I would put my tank slightly upside down, and get liquid CO2. It is probably not recommended to run a commercial gas tank in a non-upright position. So, depending on what type of tank you have, and what type of output you want, the answer to your question literally is: depends. For farm and garden use, you are probably seeking gaseous output, and probably have a tank with no dipstick; based on these assumptions, yes, you will need to keep your tank upright.

You cannot unless you have a gauge installed, or know the exact weight of the tank.
Can you fill up a co2 tank withan air compressor?
yes you can when you use a compressor only fill up the co2 tank for 2 seconds for every ounce the tank can hold (9 ounce tank=18 seconds) <><><><><> However, the CO2 tank is designed for CO2, not ordinary air, and it is rated for only a specific pressure. If you don't have the proper equipment to do this, it is better for your own safety to leave it to a professional.
Do you have to use nitrogen with an ion paintball gun?
Yes, Ions only run on High Pressure Air (aka nitro or nitrogen) CO2 will not work. actually if you get your hands on a regulator off a vibe or sp1 the ion will be safe to use with co2 since the vibe and sp1 are the same as the ion except with a different (and co2 friendly) regulator, however it is almost required that you have a Anti-siphon tube installed in your co2 tank in order to get the whole system to work well together
