Oxygen Tank

Postby jcunningham0295 » Thu Jul 19, 2012 2:56 pm

I was thinking of getting an oxygen tank, what size would be better? I am thinking a 40 cu since the price is only $40.00 more from a 20 cu. Or is a 20 cu big enough for bagging fish?

That size is fine and will last you quite a while, the regulator is the expensive part. Get a good hose so if you leave the valve open it won't leak through the walls of the hose - that is if you use a "trigger" like handle on the end to control the air flow etc... like a pneumatic air gun (blower)... like this... http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/BRECO-Safety-Air-Gun-5X786?Pid=search
