Finally got the green monster totally fishable with the completion of my bait tank. Thank you Andy at OEX Sunset beach for your time insight.

Decided to make a huge leap and go straight for the through hull system and here is how she turned out.

Standard 3.6gallon petfood container

90° angled pvc elbow http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee392/williamnovotny/IMG_20120225_075805.jpg

Another shot of the inside. Nozzle angled down at a 45° to slow down the current a bit. http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee392/williamnovotny/IMG_20120225_075824.jpg http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee392/williamnovotny/IMG_20120225_075852.jpg

Here is the 500gpr tsunami pump installed. I used marine goop on all seals then reinforce the pump with jb weld For added strength. http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee392/williamnovotny/IMG_20120225_144351.jpg

Heres the hose running back to the tankwell. http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee392/williamnovotny/IMG_20120225_143357.jpg

Another fitting in the tankwell leading to the intake on the tank http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee392/williamnovotny/IMG_20120225_143241.jpg
