He got one of those heavy plastic 55gal. drums cut it down to about 2 feet high reused the original lid to cap it after he cut a large openingn in the lid hinged the cutout and attached it to the lid, then all he needed were a few pvc fitting, some hose and apump

When holding mullet keep the water level at least 18" below the lip of the drum.There is an aquaculture place in Orlando that sells commercial air pumps and air stones. You need a drain with a strainer in the bottom as well as a valve to dump the drain water. Locate the tanks on the north side so they won't get any direct sunlight. A Jaccuzi pump is good to pump the water you need. Use a 1.5" Tygon (or =) hose with a strainer on the end to pick up the water. A 1.25" will be good to fill the tanks with. I would go with at least two tanks if possible. (we have three and need another one) Best regards, Frankk

Lee built us the most awesome bait wells to hang off the dock especially for mullet and mud minnows. She actually has a pic of hers on one of the threads.Let me go find it.

You can go to Sports Authority and get a system that will exchange water, comes with a pump [bilge size], hose [buy extra], and you pump water into tank and you build in a drain line, so when it fills to the top the drain lines takes the water away back to river... they sell this kit to transform an igloo cooler into live well on a boat to exchange old water with new water. I think the parts and pump are $40 I used a cheap bilge pump [tossed into river] to suck water in [used marine battery as my electric] into large igloo cooler-- You can make elaborate tank or cheap tank..but Paul Jones [wingnetter in Edgewater] is the one to ask, he built one for his shrimp business to hold his shrimp for the bait stores at his mobile home to come and buy. He plumbed it etc. You have his number? If not, text me and I will text you the nbr. You and Brad know him!
