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.)
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!
