RE: Help building bait tank
You dont need a seperate pump/filter in the tank. The fresh water inflow to the bottomandthe weir valve outlet at the top is the way to clean the water in your tank. I tried the filter thing for awhile and hated it. I found if you simple introduce new water into the bottom of the tank and pipe out your old water out of the top of the tank you will literally be able to keep bait alive for a week, I promise. As said before, make sure to get a duel diaphram air 12 volt air pump and put a single air stone in the bottom. Oxygen infusion is the most important thing in a bait well. Water circulation doesnt mean anythign without oxygen. Depending on the amound of bait in your tank, as long as you are puming oxygen in you dont have to do a water change but every 6-12 hours or so. Remember this as well, only the top 6-12 inches of a water column hold oxygen. That is why you want to introduce the new water and air to the bottom of the tank.
