i am looking to build a live bait well for my boat- mainly for bunker. i was thinking of using a small garbage can as the hold, but i am not sure what to use for the pump or how to set it up most efficiently. any suggestions?

I've read that some use the 12VDC bilge pumps found at West Marine for about $18. The reason they cited for not using an aerator is that when there are a lot of bunker or other live bait, they do #1's and #2's in the water and eventually poison themselves even when there is plenty of oxygen. Need minimum of 350GPH with 500GPH preferable.
