Alum fish box

admin

Here is one of four fish boxes I have recently made. All 1/8" and measure 5'x2'x2'. This box has a center control that is going to be attached. Waiting on the hydraulic steering to arrive before finishing. Will take more pics when finished. These boxes are used to haul live fish and will be aerated with a sweetwater blower.Lincoln Power Mig 300 with PythonLincoln SquareWave Tig 255 Hypertherm Powermax 45 HH120 w/argon
Reply:Can't tell from the pic, did you TIG or MIG?  What series aluminum dod you use? I need to build one of these for my small boat.  Do you have any plans or just scratched it out on paper.  Anyhow, looks good and I'll be waiting to see how your progress.  Thanks for posting.GeezerPower Mig 255C185 TIGBlue 175 MIGRanger 8 Kohler 20HP1974 5K Lincoln/Wisconsin Powered (Cherry)Victor/Harris O/AK 487 Spool Gun
Reply:netman.Just for future reference, Think you'll find that you increase the fish survivability if you had rounded the corners of the "livewell" vs the square corners.Most any decent fab shop can roll the corners.  If done this way, you only have two vertical seams to weld.  The rounded corners also make cleaning easier.Just a thought.Syncro 250 DX Dynasty 200 DXMM 251 w/30A SG XMT 304 w/714 Feeder & Optima PulserHH187Dialarc 250 AC/DCHypertherm PM 1250Smith, Harris, Victor O/ASmith and Thermco Gas MixersAccess to a full fab shop with CNC Plasma, Water Jet, etc.

Reply:My experience with fish available in our area suggests that the round corners aren't really an issue for bass and other similar gamefish.  They just sit there, and don't really do any moving around.  The trouble comes with the baitfish, namely gizzard shad, which will die if you look at them funny.  They get into a corner, keep swimming into it, and end up with red noses, which make them undesirable to the stripers we are fishing for. With them, a round tank is absolutely crucial, as is a circular current through the tank.Who is John Galt?
