Love this video . I am from mosselbay .I also have a fish tank at home with a sump under the tank to keep my live bait in. The uv light does it help a lot with water clarity and how does it work .. i also have problem with live bait bitetting each other ? Have you ever seen this ? And how to you keep your livies a live in the fish tank . Same system ?
Hi Ian.. The uv light helps kill all bacteria keeping water clear and I believe it helps with tail rot also... As far as mullet biting each other haven't had that problem hey.
What an awesome setup! I have done a very similar setup myself, using a flow bin for mullet here in Australia. I was wondering if you have ever had the tails of your live baits go red? This is happening often to mine and i am unsure about how to control it.
Hi Tom... Yes we had that problem.. 2 things that causes that.. 1 when we collect live mullet we try and keep the session under 2 hours.. So try and get the live bait quickly into ur flowbin.. 2 try and add another skimmer a second skimmer helped me get rid of waste quicker.... Hope this helps good luck with the live well
Thanks.. Can't cotroll temps at the moment.. Looking at installing a chiller for the warmer month ahead.. Salt water and top up with fresh tap water... Dry bread
Let's say you keep the mullet for two weeks in the tank and then fish with the mullet after two weeks ,when you throw the mullet into the sea water does it not die because it can not acclimate quick enough?
No the mullet survives when back in the sea... Had mullet in the live well for 2months then used them and caught kob with them... They extremely hardy live bait
Very good question... I normally do a complete water change every month... Or half water change with fresh water... If u go bigger sump then u don't have to change water that often
Every time i take out bait i use that water, and then top up with tap water, and do a complete water change every month, the mullets are hardy they can survive in fresh water

This is an awesome setup ! Curious to know how long will these mullet survive with this type of setup ?
For a very long time... Had mullet in here for 6 months after 2 weeks they will start feeding.. Dry bread and fish pallets to keeps them going
There is a mullet in the aquarium, but it does not eat anything. What should I feed to attract his attention? There is real sea water in the aquarium.
They normally take about 2 weeks before feeding
Great Idea! can keep a few hotties in here and eat them fresh when you want to LOL
Lol
Very helpful thank you so much. What brand protein skimmer and UV light are you using?
Reeftek skimmer and not sure of the uv light.. Think zap something
Thank you so much🙏🏻🙏🏻
great
Hi mate!!! Very slick set up!! How do you treat your tank water to keep your mullet kicking like that!
Cheers
Thanks man... No treatment... Skimmer does the cleaning
Cheers mate I appreciate!
Expensive setup for bait
Not realy, lots of second hand goodies
Cool Vid. how do you control the temp of the water. also do you use fresh water or sea water. what do you feed them
Thanks.. Can't cotroll temps at the moment.. Looking at installing a chiller for the warmer month ahead.. Salt water and top up with fresh tap water... Dry bread

Very informative. How often do you replenish or fill the tank with fresh sea water?
Very good question... I normally do a complete water change every month... Or half water change with fresh water... If u go bigger sump then u don't have to change water that often
Don't have to change water if you run a sandponics system with this setup .
@@deepinthemangroves208what is sandponics system?
Awesome setup. How many mullet can you keep in it at one time?
Thanks easy 100 mediums
Can you put everything in the comment section needed for the set up?
yes will do
Few questions.
Do you use sea water?
How long does the mullets live.
What water pump do you use?
Sea water... 1000L up flow pump..you can keep the live bait for months feed them bread
@@MADAnglingwhere do you get the items to build this? Like the containers?
Anyway can fund some of running costs of the setup for some liveys in return ? 😁
lol where you throwing livies ?
Hi thanks for the insight.
What do you feed them?
dry bread
@@MADAngling Thanks👍🏽
@@MADAnglingwill they reproduce? Lay eggs?
Hi is selling of live bait allowed in south africa
Hi no only the local trekker nets are allowed
What do you feed them???
We use them up b4 they need feeding
how does load shedding affect this setup?
Not so bad..800L of water can keep good oxygen
What type of water do you use.
Salt water and top up with normal tap water
@@MADAngling thanks. Do you feed them and what do you feed them
Hardly get a chance to feed them... Fish them up b4 they start feeding.. Normally after a week they start feeding... Dry bread works
For how long do they stay alive
Months
@@MADAngling wow I'm definitely starting a project like this. Will check out some prices.
@@brandoncarolissen3656did you do it
hi,whats the salinity level?
dont really check, harders are hard i do a 50 50 mix sometimes
How do you regulate salt
Every time i take out bait i use that water, and then top up with tap water, and do a complete water change every month, the mullets are hardy they can survive in fresh water
@@MADAngling cheers man
@@MADAngling So this system is 100% fresh water then? or is the monthly water change when you add saltwater in?
@@nevillenaid the monthly change is full salt water
kan ek ma more die setup by jou kom optel 😉
haha no problem my friend
