Title: DIY O2-Do I have this right?
Post by Trooper on Mar 16^th, 2008, 6:12pm

Do I have this right?

1. Go to http://www.mushys.com/O2/mymask.html and order parts for non-rebreather mask.

2. Get on e-bay and purchase a regulator CGA 540

3. Go to welder's supply and rent an M tank full of O2

Will I need anything else? Will they question me about what I want the O2 for? Is it really this simple?

Hello:

I think you'd need another piece of tubing to make the bubbler work, but that's complete as far as I can see.

Good luck and perhaps someone else can comment for you about the completeness.

You will be trying to oxygenate a Large tank (1,000 gal) of bait fish. It's experimental.
Thanks.

All the necessary parts are available from that site.
You don't want an "M" tank. That's medical terminology.

Get a #4, or one that weighs about 75#.

A 540 regulator is what you want. If you plan to use a "bubbler," you'll need one of the dual gauge puppies.

You can't adapt a bubbler to a cylinder model (mostly.)

It really _is_ that simple.

I did forget the bubbler! This actually does make some sense. I have been looking into making my own CO2 system for my planted fish tank so I would actually halfway know what I was talking about.

I lease my tank. If the tank needs anything it's on their dime. Ya don't say nuthin, just that ya need to lease a tank.
