I use 84 Qt cooler with 12 volt plug in recirculater and also plug in fish airpump with airstone for eel tank.Change water every couple of days.Also have found that in light colored tank, eels tend to lighten in color so put black rubber mat on bottom and rocks to hold it and they tend to stay darker color for extended periods.For live bait fish use round 30 gallon barrel( or bigger if you have room) with same pumps.If you use square they tend to get in corners and drown from lack of oxygen moving over there gills.You can also buy regular live well tanks in various sizes.Also remember to keep net in truck to get either out of tank as you wouldnt belive how hard they are to catch with your hands when you forget the( !@#$%^&*) net.In fact buy two nets and keep spare under seat !!!!!Been there done that!!
