chadwickz71, this is just an old initial set up pic, but I sometimes use these 110 gallon stock tanks as holding tanks when moving sensitive fish in volume. I use Tuff Stuff tanks because they have smooth sides. No edges for the fish to swim into, so they're similar to the Greyline bait tanks that fishing guides use for their TFS.

Salt, O2 with a Pentair 300 series micro defuser, and a cheap floating 12 volt surface aerator to keep the water circulating, complete our rig. We also quit using nets to transfer smaller fish from tank to tank. We use 5 gallon buckets, it's more work, but there seems to be less morts when all is said and done.

I've killed enough fish when moving them to testify to Bob's statement about clean water. It can't be emphasized enough. One last little bit of personal experience is to get everything planned out, equipment purchased, and used on a small scale before you move fish in volume. Oopsies when you're in the middle of moving fish can often be averted by a smaller scale test run.
