[QUOTE="jonboatjerry, post: 150055, member: 2355"] Hello. Thanks. The livewell was a very affordable and easy project. I still use the gravity feed in the livewell but I have added an aeration circulation pump, aeration head (adjustable spray) and an aerator screen on the pumps intake to filter out debris. I placed the head on one end at the top corner of the livewell and the intake at the bottom corner on the other end of the livewell. The reason that I did this was that the suction of the intake would pull the aerated water through the entire length of the livewell. I also used styrofoam insulation to help keep the water cooler inside the livewell. I placed it on the back side and underneath the livewell. I also painted the inside of the livewell with white plastic coat spray paint. This was also to help keep the temp down in the livewell. I think the total cost was around $45. It consisted of the pump, the head (with adjustable spray), the screen and some heavy duty plastic tubing and styrofoam for insulation as well as a can of white Plastic Coat spray paint. Good luck with your project! Please post pics? I would like to see them. [/QUOTE]
