bait tank design

I am about to fabricate a cheap bait tank for use on a recently purchased used 2017 hobie outback. Looking to fish La Jolla kelp and yellow tail as the extreme case, with SD bay including the jeti etc. as sort of a normal routine. I would like to minimize tank volume and pump power.


I have a design in mind for initial build however can't decide which tote to use. I have bought two shown below.


Q1: what is minimum depth in a bait tank given my fishing locations? I am hoping 6" or less is adequate.
Q2: what is minimum length and width of a bait tank? I know people use 9.5x9.5 petfood containers.
Q3: what is a decent (not ideal) water flow per minute in a 3 galloon bait tank? I am planning to have 1 gallon per minute which means complete volume change over every 3 minutes.

Thanks in advance
