SHORT SERIES 40 GALLON (52 GALLON TOTAL) X-TREME BAIT TANK
For the Short 40, we took the footprint of our standard 65-gallon bait tank (41” x 32”) and cut the height down to 18". The Short 40 X-Treme Bait Tank features a 40-gallon bait compartment with a 12-gallon filter compartment, for 52 gallons total. This tank features 2-12v pumps, each hooked to a Danco Venturi for maximum oxygenation, and a triple-bag sock-filtration system. The horizontal lid, Custom Engraving, black walls and drains in these pictures are add on features via "Build-A-Tank". Standard tank has 2-12v pumps, triple filter sock system, 12v LED light and white inside walls. STANDARD EQUIPMENT TWO 12 volt pumps Three 200-micron aquatic filter socks Two Dannco Venturis OPTIONAL ADD-ONS BLACK INSIDE WALLS The black inside wall will completely block out 100% of all light from getting into your tank when the lid is shut. This feature has proven to significantly assist in a healthier bait. It is our strong opinion that complete darkness significantly calms the bait and as a result, they are less stressed and much friskier when you are ready to put one on the hook. Note, any tank ordered with a black inside wall will automatically get a lid with NO WINDOW. We use a white bottom so you can see the bait when you open the lid. A black bottom makes it almost impossible to see what's inside, even when the 12v light is on. Day light can not penetrate the white/black/white lid or base. PUMPS A 110 volt pump can be added to any tank allowing the user to plug the tank into an electrical outlet when off the water, making longer term bait storage a breeze. Additionally, tanks can be built with 110 volt pumps in lieu of 12 volt pumps, ideal for bait and tackle shops or those that prefer to keep bait at home and dip out what they need for the day. All 110's must be plugged into an approved GFI outlet. The TRIFECTA option allows you to have the best of all worlds. The 3 pumps are connected to a spray bar, an infuser cap and a quick flow. By having all 3 pumps inside this tank, you can run any one pump or any combination of 2. This will allow you to create up to 6 different water turnovers inside your tank. This a great feature for those who keep a variety of different baits throughout the year. Minnows, shrimp and threadfin do better with the spray bar and infuser cap while bigger baits like google eye, mackerel, large gizzard shad may want a little more action in the tank to keep them occupied. SPARE FILTER MANIFOLD Add a spare filter manifold, complete with filter socks, to your order for an easy swap when it's time to clean the filters. Simply pull out the manifold in use and insert the spare manifold with clean filter socks. BULKHEAD DRAINS* A bulkhead lower drain allows all but approximately 1-2" of water to be drained from the tank. A bulkhead overflow drain, located just above the tank fill line, allows excess tank water to drain off. SKIMMER Located at the tank fill-line, the skimmer assembly draws water from the top of the tank and sends it through a filter sock before recirculating it to the bait storage side. With a skimmer in place, tank water is filtered from the top down as well as from the bottom up via the tank's standard filtration system. HORIZONTAL LID HINGING The lid is split and hinged across the length of the tank and opens from the side versus standard hinging that opens from the front. CARBON FILTER One-pound activated charcoal pellets in a reusable mesh bag help further clean tank water. Measurements: 18" Tall from exterior bottom of the tank to the top of the lid knobs 32" Wide 41" Long Dry Weight: Approximately 90lbs SHIPPING is via freight lines (semi). We now use a wide range of carries and shipping can be very tricky. There are many hidden costs. Since there isn't a way for this website to give you a true cost, here's what we do. The shipping charge listed is your cost for DOCK PICK-UP at a terminal near you. This is a fool proof way to not be charged a "hidden" fee by the carrier. Business and Farm deliveries carry an additional fee However, after you have placed your order (or you may call us before ordering online), I can get an exact quote to your house or business which will have all fees associated with where you live and where you would like to have your tank delivered. If there's additional fees, you can choose if you would like to pay the difference or just stay with DOCK PICK-UP. If you know of a terminal near you, put the name of the freight company in the comments section and we can use them to deliver there. These tanks weigh from 60-150 lbs, but crated up, what's being shipped weights 150-300 lbs. Shipping rates on this website apply to products shipped to most states except California, Nevada, Washington, Utah, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico, Alaska, Hawaii, North Dakota, South Dakota, Arizona, US territories or international destinations.
