If anyone is interested in putting together one of these, here's what it cost me.

O2 Tank and regulator from local welding supply = $205
Flow meter = $20
Point Four micro bubbler = $53
Hose and barb fitting for flow meter = $10
(I already had a 48 qt wheeled ice chest so I didn't include that.)


Total = $288

Sounds like you did it right.

Looks like a mini version of the system we used on our live release pontoon boats when I was running bass tournaments. Good job!!

Thanks! I got some great advice from here in another thread so it was easy to do. Can't wait to try it out!

Looks great.

JKS, I'm going to copy this link to Tracy's thread. Good visual of the O2 system.

Just a couple of things, I don't leave the diffuser in the water without O2 flowing. Water will leak into the diffsuer if there's no flow pressure. Also, there may have been a small piece of sandpaper in the box. That's for cleaning the stone if it gets algaed up, but I've never needed mine. It's in a plastic baggie with my O2 stuff.

Good advice, thanks! And I was wondering what that sandpaper was for!
