Do you mean you want to use it to put air in bags when you ship fish, or do you actually want to put the tanks in the package to airate the water during shipping?
Yeah I'm not sure what you want to accomplish with those big scuba tanks. Can you be more specific?
If this is just for aeration, just get a battery powered air pump or two. The ones that use D-cell batteries will run all day on a pair of D-cells.
I want to be able to bag fish with pure oxygen when I ship. I do have a big air compressor in the garage but I didn’t think I could use that to bag fish
I don’t think you’re going to find any gas supplier that will fill those tanks with pure oxygen. There are a lot of inspection rules for those types of tanks and they have to have been made specifically for the purpose they are being used. If you want pure oxygen you’re probably going to have to buy an oxygen tank or lease on and then swap it out each time you need it refilled. They basically work just like a propane tank. You can do this at your local welding supply shop. I have a pure oxygen tank at work but it is used for an oxy-acetylene torch. You would get the same thing. Then, you will have to have a regulator and the hoses, fittings to allow you to put air into a bag.
