I have access to a 36 Cubic feet Chest freezer that went bad but it's still sealed and water tight. Would there be any reason I couldn't or shouldn't use this for raising Shiners ?
The dimensions are 6' L x 2' W x 3' D , I estimate it will hold about 280 gallons.
Thanks

In my younger days, I saw it done a number of times. A friend had a bait shop. Several of his tanks were old chest freezers with the lids removed and aerators added.
One of my uncles had one in a shed at his lake cabin. Each summer, he kept a mix of crappie, suckers, shiners, and leaches (in a separate hardware cloth cage) that he caught in his "minnow" trap. He also kept a couple of big tubs of crawlers.
Most older chest freezers have drains that allow for easy cleaning.
