To get the oxygen levels up in salt water       takes more air. And since salt water is denser, the air is at a higher       pressure (Henry's again). It is a function of the mass flow rate of air,       being different in the two types        of tanks.              I don't assume people are lying, I assume they tell the truth.              David A.
