OEX 5 gallon bucket bait tank - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Ok. So to answer the questions, I don't know what size the pump is. I bought the unit all set up at OEX. So what you are saying is my 12v battery that I am using for both my FF and my bait tank is too much. I keep hearing that. So best case, the bait tank needs its own battery. What is an aerator head and where does it go? What is a pvc ball valve and where would it go? The out take hole and hose is about 3/4 of the way to the top of the bucket.

I guess you guys can tell. I am not too mechanically inclined...

GOOGLE what a PVC ball valve is. Im currently setting up my own livewell and Im using a 12V motorcycle battery (since I have some laying around) running a simple tsunami 500 gph (Gallon Per Hour) and plan on using the same power source for my FF. A 500 GPH pump is like that water fountain at school that always squirts you in the face and out of that fountain but not much more than that. Your outlet 3/4 the way up is fine. if you mount a PVC ball valve (google) or the friendly plumbing dept. at Lowes can show you.... mounted inline between your pump and bucket sounds like a $0.60 solution.

Good Luck!!!!
