Oxygen Question...
I am wanting to change from 2 oxy cons to tanked oxygen and wanted to know what to expect.
I have 2 torches and would only be torching 4 - 8 hours per week, primarily boro, but some soft glass.
I am looking at 3 tank sizes:
125 K
251
300
I would be running either a National 8M or a Betta on the tank.
For each torch, how often can I expect to refill?

Have no idea how long a tank will last....
Just get biggest tank you can safely manhandle... Larger tanks weigh in over 100 pounds... There is personal injury risk if you are not careful...
You may or may not get delivery by gas company... It will depend on local supplier and their policy,,, IF they won't deliver, you are going to have to manage it yourself.
Just a heads up if you have not considered this aspect...

ditto Dale 
get the 300....they also come in 4-packs that can be delivered to your door.
I don't know what the size of a Betta is, but if you are only torching about 4-8 hours a week, I would say at least a week and a half.....

Eeeekkk!
I did not think one torch, 4 hours a week, would consume that much oxy....I really only wanted to have to fill once a month.
Maybe I should just add one more oxy-con instead!
