I would like to see a detailed vid of the making of this setup. I have coolers of this same size I use for live bait, but I like your pump idea better. I have the 6" pvc also.
great DIY bait tank with filter, pump and aeration. Exactly what i'm looking to build. This is very comparable to the striper soup bait tank but it's the DYI version. Great job!
I really like this setup. I’ve been thinking about buying a striper soup tank but the price of plus no insulation has made me hesitant. Can I ask what you used as the bottom plate to seal off the bilge from the bottom intake?
@@Riveraddictions Doh- that makes sense lol. Not sure why I didn’t think of that. I netted some threadfin yesterday and put into a frabil minnow tank and it was basically instant death haha. Think I’m gonna copy this for sure now!
The sealed plate inside the filter is about 1 inch off the bottom. The pipe runs through the notches in the 6 inch pvc. Then Water is forced to push up the pipe going through that plate in order to stay even with the water outside the filter stack. Meanwhile the pump is sucking the stack dry so the water constantly flows up the pipe which in turn vacuums off the bottom of the cooler.

I'm a little confused on what I'm seeing? I can see the 6" pipe and that the pump sucks off the bottom and discharges back out the side of 6" pipe. What is the stand pipe for ?? Its not hooked to pump correct??
What your missing I think is the stand pipe is what the water gravity flows up Into, as the pump sucks the 6 inch stack dry. When the pump sucks the 6 inch area dry, it filters it
