Title: Let's see those Bait Tanks
Post by: fishEH on Jan 26, 2022, 06:31 PM

Let's see your setup!
I've got my tank up and running in my basement this year. All leftover supplies from my other fish tanks. Small submersible pump, pvc, 5 gal bucket, bioballs, and blue filter media.

Not sure if this has been done, I didn't turn up much. I think a running thread of bait tank setups would be a valuable source if info.

mine is half plastic barrel. a fountain pump that goes through a jug with scratch pads in it, that hangs on the side up high.  the water falling back to tank aerates it plenty.  ive used it for 20 years+.  stays cold in basement all year.  i have kept up to 40, 3-4" gills in it before.
