RE:Keep Alive Live bait tank and aerator equipment report
Saltydog!! It appears that your tank was more successful than mine. Several problems with mine; pump needs to be upgraded - small 500gph pump - need to go higher to the 1100 like yours to push more air and water as my herring were not keeping as well. Had the same problem where the pump stopped pumping but mine was loaded with scales. I had cleaned the screen but will need to figure out a better method. Some people I talked to removed the filters (wise?) as they say the scales are small enough to pass through. undecided on that though... I don't know if you'd want the tap water. What has been successful in the past was a mixed salinity to ease them into the saltwater as well as gradually dropping the temp from where you got 'em to where you fish 'em...
Another interesting idea... One gentleman recommended running some flotation on the pump to keep part of the pickup at the surface. You could see that it was pushing much more air into the tank....
