Oxygen System Advice
Anyone use pure oxygen instead of bubblers? Not much on the live bait thread. Would like to try a DIY set up? Any recommendations? Thankx

The DIY baitwell and livewell systems that I see around here are essentially a small B cylinder O2 tank with an adult medical regulator set for 1/8 liter per minute delivery through a large air stone. The key factor is securing the tank in the boat where it can't come loose and break off at the valve.

Not sure about medical oxygen tanks. Tanks on welding rigs have fiber in them that soak up liquid since oxygen when compressed becomes a liquid. As long as they sit no more that 65 degrees they are safe. If they are laid down for any amount of time they need to stand up for twice that long before use.

Go to keepalive website, that's what I installed in my livewell for keeping live bait.

Exactly like that, lol. Let's just keep it on topic, I'm just easily amused, I reckon. I don't keep mine alive long, way I look at it they got two choices thrown back or eaten.. Course I know this is a tourney question so I respectfully bow out, y'all talk seriously now, glad to see the talk here lately

Exactly like Rocket Man! I work in an ER and several years ago had someone drop a larger oxygen E-cylinder in the floor breaking the valve off and sending the tank though the hallway, eventually lodging itself inside of a wooden fire door. I can just imagine one getting loose in some poor soul's boat hitting some choppy water and going through the hull-which is why I just use frozen water bottles in my personal boat.For some reason the lyrics of "Rocket Man" instantly popped into my mind on that comment

Search some of the striper forums. Those guys are serious about keeping shad and skipjack alive.

A few years ago I went on the keep alive website and read the material they had there. Learned a lot about keeping fish and bait healthy through the hotter months. The heat takes oxygen out of the water quicker and that's when u generally have issues keeping your fish or bait alive. Anyway, I ordered everything from there website except the tank. I got a tank from a friend. I don't loose any fish with oxygen
