Portable Livewells - Opinions Please

Here goes.....it's 27" tall from a 55 gal. plastic drum. The top is 1/2" Starboard with 1/4" clear lid, the lid seat was hand routed, 3/4" ball valve drain, 3/4" pvc inlet fed from top w/holes progressively larger w/3/16" at top, 7/16" bottom, circulating counter clock wise of course , This is the "secret" to this system working. The bottom is capped and spaced away from side to offer support. The drains are 1 1/2". The 1/2" Starboard drain plates are spaced away inside to allow drainage when a fish lays sideways against it. It works really good. There are nice ones available but all I see are too short to drain over. This one is five years old.
