What do I need to consider before setting up an O2 tank system? The goal of our project is to help mitigate the loss of live bait during our weekend runs. As with most things in life too much of a good thing could cause harm

I have a medical Oxygen tank and a PEDIATRIC regulator. Use the pediatric reg because it turns the oxygen usage way way way down to a fraction of the usage from a regular regulator.

I would like to know if anyone has information with regards aerating the different live baits with O2? Here are some other considerations I would like to address before heading on this journey.
1. Maintenance
2. Cost
3. Equipment
4. Cylinder Refill Locations

Don't skimp on your tank, regulator or stone - the rest you DIY - use an ice chest to fit your needs

Yes, South Texas Trolling Motors can provide the refill and equipment. I was able to do some research on this topic and will share information on my experience using O2 injection into my bait well.

You had asked in a eariler post where a person could get a O2 tank filled and I answered you, if you already knew, why did you ask?
I've been runniung O2 for 15 years, nothing new.
