my minnow tank

[travish10]

I have been wanting to build a minnow tank for some time and finally got it done. I used a livestock tank from Big R ($60), a pond pump from Menards($30), PVC from the garage, and and air pump/stone. I put about an inch of gravel in the bottom of the tank to help the Bio-filter, bacteria develop and live. I got ideas from some of the guys on here and used pillow stuffing for the filter floss and got a media bag and filled it with activated carbon. I put both of those inside 3" PVC then reduced it down to 3/4 inch into the pump. I've had it running for a couple days now and seems to be holding the fish OK. I have about 4 doz in there right now, but plan to bump it up by the pound here soon, as soon as I am confident everthing is functioning as it should.
