Finally built me a good bait tanks setup this weekend. 2 - 275 gallon totes should hold some bait for a while. I have an air system setup with 1/2 PVC, that runs down to the bottom of the tank. I used a piece of soaker hose instead of air stones and it works pretty good. I also add 2 valves so i can adjust the air flow to each tank.

WOW!

i mean WOW!!!

very nice

i can't wait to move out of the city.

what kind of filtration are you using for the water?

Cool!!!

I'm not sure yet. I'm kind of thinking of something i can move from tank to tank. Maybe a small pond pump that runs into a 5 gallon bucket. Then I'll fill the bucket full of filter materials with holes in the bottom, so it rains back into the tank. I think the less the water moves the better. This way it doesn't wash the slim off the fish. My buddy has almost the same setup but with 4 totes and he hasn't had any problem keeping the fish alive.


Thanks

Nice---What are you using for air system?

that will work... your buddies system is what they use at my local fish farm for their smaller troughs for koi

Now that is COOL!!!!!!

Very nice, I think adding the filtration system will really make that a great setup. What type of bait fish do you plan to keep in it?
Oh and you can use a product like pond start that I get at walmart and it helps remove the harmful chemical that the fish release such as ammonia. I use it in my tournament livewell and it works great.

Here is the pic of the air pump I'm using.

Hopefully perch and maybe some bullheads if i can find any. Is the stuff you get at walmart in the fish section? I was thinking of getting some shad keeper or something like that from academy but walmarts a lot closer.

Thanks
AY

I am impressed!!!!!

Very cool setup

Man pretty sweet!!

Yes it is. That should hold perch and bullheads just fine.
