Goose- i use a black rubbermaid 75 gallon feed tank you can find at a agway dist. they are about $100.00. inside I have a 1800 gph rule pump with a hose attached. I built a plywood top that is bolted to the plastic tank and cut out a 5" +/- for an aerator. during the herring season I can keep 36 herring for a couple days. The bottom of the tank comes with a drain you can attach a hose with shutoff valve. I have a 25' garden hose I run out of my garage and down a slope to drain. I only use the tank to save time on my fishing days ,rather than keep them for long periods of time. In the summer ( june/july most of august) I don't use it. In the fall I'll start buying eels and I'll keep them in there until late november. With eels I barely use the aerator , just the pump. During the herring season I use baitsaver and foam-off they both work well.
