Smell of Bait

How do you guys keep you tanks from smelling? I want to put my tank in my basement  but i don't want my whole basement to smell.

i would assume that just like my regular fish tank a lid and a quality filter will go a long way in preventing the stink.  a large tank will help also, most bait tanks i see are way over crowded.  i dont usually set up a dedicated bait tank but i do keep the minny bucket in my appartment during ice fishing season and i can usually keep the gf happy by frequent water changes.  it doesnt take long for an over crowded bait bucket to turn the water rancid.
