How long can you expect to keep minnows alive in the tanks. Thanking about building one out of a freezer I have. Under best circumstances in a tank how long will they stay alive
If you can keep the temperature down, the water clean, and have good oxygenation dot-dot. You should have no problem keeping bait alive for months. Hit that subscribe button and check out the other minnow video how to keep minnows alive.
I'm getting started into keeping my own bait here in ND. Wondering what temperature you try to keep water and what kind of population you can keep in a 50 gal tank?
I think my main problem is my inlet to the pump is too small. I decided to be lazy and use a washer machine hose for the inlet and 3/4 per for outlet. I also have a whole house filter before the pump. I’m thinking of getting sump 1-1/2 flanges and using 1-1/2 pvc the whole way
Doesn’t get hot I only gets steady low pressure stream I swapped the pump out for a taco 0013 from my service van and that helped a little bit not enough to say so
I bought them from a bait shop that went out of business in the Minneapolis area. I tried researching it and was unable to find out where they came from.
PhunkJunkee45 feel free to shoot me some questions when you get to that point! I've been super busy lately but at some point was planning on posting a video on a smaller version of this setup. Subscribe for updates if you haven't already!
Not on this one, if you look at our videos I have some other videos that talk about the process a bit more. I build these as a hobby. Have a lot of fun with it!
What did this beauty cost you total to build yourself and any ideas for how to keep it cold if I don't have a well like you do? Also what did your replica set you back? Looks great btw!
Great set up , do you have a list of materials & where you can buy them & specs on your set up ? Awesome 👏 thx for sharing 👍🎣
Nice set up, where can I find the same tanks?
Where did you get the blue inserts? The actual tanks
What a great setup. Can you do i detailed video of your filter. What the media looks like and how you have installed.. thanks for the great ideas.
I will try to put something together! Busy couple weeks of ice fishing, but stick with us. I'll get something together eventually.
Where you buy your tank? Really like your sit up,like the video
I built everything, the tanks were purchased from Polytank Co.

Where did you get the tanks from
One other thing, what type of food are you feeding the shiners.
Have been looking for tanks like those for a while. Can you please give me the tank manufactures name.
Thank you

Does your pump get hot? Sounds like it's starving. Definitely want to up size the intake.
Doesn’t get hot I only gets steady low pressure stream I swapped the pump out for a taco 0013 from my service van and that helped a little bit not enough to say so
Can you do a how to on the filter
I will do one soon! Sorry for the year later reply
I would also like to see how you built the filter
I am opening a bait shop in Michigan where can I get tanks like that
I bought them from a bait shop that went out of business in the Minneapolis area. I tried researching it and was unable to find out where they came from.
How do you keep the water cool other than insulation?
The water in that system is cooled by a constant trickle of well water in and old water out. I have used chillers in other builds as well.
Hike Brothers Outdoors what size chiller have you used?I am in the process of getting materials to build a setup and the chilling part is my issue.
What are you doing to keep the water ice cold? Looks good bud.
joel herek a constant trickle coming in from my well. 280 feet deep(my house is on a hill) and that keeps it cold and clean.
Hello do you have a video or a link to a video on the 6 inch pvc canister filter? Thank you in advance
I don't, but if you want to email me I can walk you through it. Or send me a Facebook message Dustin Hike.
@@HikeBrothersOutdoors I tried to reply back to your email but it did not go through. Do you have an email address I can writ to? Thank you brother

Do you know how big the blue tanks are?
PhunkJunkee45 54 gallons each.
Ok thank you. When I get the room I’m going to do something like this. Great idea.

Where did you get the blue tanks themselves?
Patrick Cleveland they were purchased from a bait shop that sold out.
How you keep it cold
You can use a steady trickle of well water or a chiller. Check out my other tank videos for more info.
You got a build video on this?
Not on this one, if you look at our videos I have some other videos that talk about the process a bit more. I build these as a hobby. Have a lot of fun with it!

Chris Lute it's a grundfoss domestic water circulation pump, you can find them at HVAC or plumbing supply stores.
