Hey any one know of a thread that talks about making a home made live well? Something you would put in your basement or garage?

Thank you

I used a Rubbermaid trashcan. And a big fish tank filter from walmert. You have to have a lid as they jump.
Every plastics manufacturer claims plastics outfish livebait. So now I use livebait just for the increased challenge.

My friend made one out of a cooler and put in an air pump.  A few other guys I know use a slop sink and put the air pump in it.

Look at the pick above for a diagram.

Then look here for temp control the diagram above explains it.

http://www.midwestsupplies.com/homebrewing-equipment/fermentation-equipment/temperature-control/refrigerator-thermostat-control-analog.html

If you check out the link I posted up 1st it tells you how to build everything from filter up including temp control.  They even have video links of what they built.  The temp control link came from there and the photo on the post above that came from there as well.  Any question you have could probably be answered from checking out that link it is a thread solely on building a bait tank, small ones, big ones, filters, pumps, tanks, thermostats,  you'll find it there.
