Livewell Products and Procedure

I have recently purchased my first bass boat and I did some research beforehand on the livewell systems of G3 boats. I had the dealer add a Pro Air system to the livewell since I heard that low oxygen levels is the main reason for livewell mortality. I am curious as to what you all use as an additive and what you use as a procedure particularly when fishing summer tournaments? My reading has pretty much narrowed the search down to Catch and Release or Rejuvenade. Also do any of you know if they sell either of these products at 3 Rivers?

Thanks Everyone

I am a non-boater in tournaments and everyone i have fished with uses the 2 additives you listed, also a bag of ice helps good too to cool the water off in the livewells.

There is some stuff you can get at several outdoor stores. I prefer a product called "Please Release Me." They are little packets you add.

Bag of Ice might not be the best thing Just ask Aaron Martens about that at the Lake Jordan tournament. And to as for Zona its JORdan not JURdan

Chlorinated ice can do more harm than good, as John said. If you think you need ice, freeze some water from the lake beforehand, and bring that. It is a pain in the butt though.
