Looking for a small tank to use in my livewell.
Anyone know where I can get one?

I can help you out. I can sell you an empty (M6 (B) tank; holds 164 liters), (M9 (C) tank; holds 246 liters), (D tank; holds 425 liters), (E tank; holds 679 liters) w/ a regulator that will deliver oxygen at either 1/32 liter per minute or 1/4. You can e-mail me at rmlove@gtbizclass.com

Hears a heads up,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Pure oxygen and petrolem products when coming in contact with each other can cause a spontaneous combustion.

Never lubricate an oxygen valve with oil,keep the tank away from your engine where oil may spill etc

I ran an oxygen system for years but was aware and kept a good separation of the two. I always had the oxygen cylinder remote from the well and out of the ambient trying to keep salt water spill and spray away from the vallve.I even let my valves freeze up due to salt water corrosion. The guys at the fill station know how to free them or trash them

Be careful with the oxygen. To much will kill em just as fast and to little. I use a 12v on board pump, mounted in the console, with a hose running to the livewell. Throw away the little rock that comes with it and buy a big blue stone from wall mart. Silicon that to the side of the tank close to the bottom and you can keep shrimp alive for several days in the summer. The only thing you have to watch out for is the temp. If you want to cool it off, put some ice in a zip lock bag and drop it in. The zip lock keeps the chlorine water from killing the bait.

In the early 90's I built a O2 system with a bottle and regulator I bought from a medical supply company in Pasadena.

Not sure where your at ,but a quick look in the phone book will get ya started.

All ya need is a mini-regulator , a re-fill conection and a small bottle. The tubing and stone will be avail at a Aquarium/Pet store.

As the other guys said. Be very careful with Oxygen .
