I have been catching, storing ,and fishing herring for about 12 years and every year I tell myself that this is it. I have probably hauled a million gallons of water and herring in 5 gallon buckets. It takes so much work to try to store them that it sometimes doesn't seem worth it and I have tried every method know to man. You are better off getting them and fishing them the same day. Use a portable livewell in your truck and transport them and use them up. If you have access to a river or moving water or even better saltwater for a pen you can do it, but trying to do it in a garage in a container will take a lot of work, constant water changes, and luck. It sounds like a good idea but can be very frustrating. I have pens set up in a large lake and I still cannot get them to live much more than a week. Good luck
