My bait keeps dying after 4-5 hours cuz I don't have a bubbler in my baitwell. I want a permanent setup but it's hard to get to the outside of my baitwell to install one.

Anyone here installed their own bubbler?

Everyone I've seen is a remote pump with inlet and outlet hoses. Tsunami is is what we use, that's the unit not the maker. Drawing a blank, maybe Attwood?

Pro-tip... hot water won't dissolve much O2 no matter how much air you bubble through it. You may be better off looking for ways to recirculate or otherwise keep the water from getting hot, in addition to aeration.

What are you trying to keep alive?

Live shrimp.

I can circulate new water in but keeping water oxygenated is difficult.

I want to be able to bubble and recirculate

Freeze a couple bottles or a gallon of water the night before and throw in there, that should help.

What TI said. Has to be in bottle or in a bag that absolutely will not leak.

And additional water with different ph will kill them quickly.

If you're adding with new water you will kill them as well

The cheap battery operated aerators actually do a good job. I also use shrimp buddies to help out. I am able to keep live shrimp alive for about five hours with little problem. I always get extra water from the marina.
