Default Proper building of a compressed oxygen tank system

After seeing Trey and the Wonka's ideas for building a compressed tank O2 system I have decided to take the plunge and build one myself to save dragging K tanks into the basement.

So here's the plan. I have a EX-15 now. I was thinking of either buying a second one and daisy chaining them together and feeding that into the vacuum side of the Gast oil less vacuum compressor (a ROA model rated to 100 psi) and bringing the compressed air out a storage tank 30 or 60 gallon with a 80-100 psi compressor pressure switch.

Or buying a Hurricane and putting that in place of the 2 EX-15s. Thoughts?

Also apart from cleaning the tank and perhaps the head of the ROA since its used, anything else I should be looking for? Also what should I use to clean the tank / head to take out any oil residue and obviously not leave any propellant or carbon residue behind?

Thanks!!
