Anybody bought one of these livewells?

My question is this: Does this include the pump, filter, hardware, or is it just the container. I cant seem to figure it out....

Nevermind I found it. There is NO plumbing included. Still though, any experiences with these?

Not to put too fine a point on it, but those are actually bait wells, not live wells. I know they make them round because for some reason shad don't do well in containers with ninety degree angles, but I don't know if the inverse is true for gamefish. That said, I'm sure they're quality tanks, but they look like they'd take up quite a bit of space. Can't help but think if you're looking for a livewell and not a bait well you could do better.

Hahaha, no worries brotha. I actually did mean baitwell. Pardon me for the improper term.

By the way, maybe you can tell me about the round vs square thing. What's the deal with that?

Well the baitfish get 'trapped' in the corners, and it really stresses them out. They also bunch up in the corners. When the tank is round they can swim around (literally :facepalm in the bin which forces water and oxygen through their gills, vs. sitting still, or swimming against the corner. But if your goal is to fit the longer, bigger fish in there then square is the way to go, because you can fit bigger fish without forcing them to curl up.

Gotcha. That makes sense. Thanks sutor. I'll sleep better now.

Yeah, it's not their fault that they are idiots.
