Check at 9am..

I went to the one on 59 south near fish gallaery around 6 and they where out.....i went back at 8:30 and brought all they had (truck came in after i left the first time)

I grab 2 deep cycle batteries (thanks geoff), 2 bilge pumps (thank fshfrk) 2 inverters and some other stuff.

I will alternate my 350 tanks between air pumps and bilge pumps. the other tank will have a different plan


I told the manager I bringing everything back regardless....

That would be timing it pretty close, I have to go in to work from six to nine tomorrow and lock everything down. I'll give it a shot though.

You know what though.. hmm, I wonder if this would be a good idea or a bad idea.... I have a 50 lb oxy bottle in my garage from my cutting torch........ hmmmmmmmm

yeah...if you rigged it like a slow leak. the pressure would still create alot of bubbles.

i use the bilge pump on my fishing trips, those gives off a lot of heat tho, unless you got the one that floats on top

I would think straight oxygen might cause problems (o2 poisoning) without something to dilute it with.  

Hrm, what if you were to take a clean large fish-bag, put tank water in it till 3/4 full.  squeeze the air out and replace that with o2.  Shake madly (holding it tightly closed).  Now you've really oxygenated the water in that bag, and likely released some not quite so desireable gasses (if you used water from the tank).  hold up high and pour in tank.  

Usually it suffices just to scoop out a bucket of water and pour it back in pretty hard.  A few times and this will supply a fair amount of oxygen.
