I just added a 6 CF O2 Bottle with a BC hose for use as a manual back up. It pops right on the the O2 manual add on the counter lung, if needed.

I already use a 6 CF bottle for suit inflation.... They are mounted on opposite sides of my backplate with the Golem Gear Argon Attachement System For Backplates. I like this system better than the standard SS Quick Links. Keeps the tanks tighter to the rig. I O2 cleaned the inexpensive Argon Regulator that is also available on Golem's site. You can't beat it for $60.00. It's small & light weight. Only downside is no HP ports so you have to check the pressure on the bottle with a pressure gauge.

I moved my light canister (which used to reside where the O2 bottle is now) into my drysuit pocket.
