Thanks for the input fellas! I am definitely not disagreeing or arguing with either one of y'all, just curious. If there wasn't a benefit of running O2 through a diffuser then I wouldn't think the fish haulers would be running bottled O2 into their transport tanks?? The bubbles in their transport tanks are barely exposed to water at all in a tank that is 3' or 4' deep.

QA - I read a little on O2 concentrators and explosions! It sounds like you want to keep it away from any open flames. It also sounds far less risky than having a bottle of compressed O2 around.

For folks at sea level could this not be a way to use less diffusers, sinking line and a less powerful pump? Maybe a way to boost aeration benefits when running at night?
