I used the 12V I got from you, and the tank died... lol.. (I'm not sure if I charged it fully? How can you tell?) Those chovy's died pretty quick once the livewell pump stopped. Not sure why the 6V would last longer than the 12V? When it was working, the 12V and livewell were working great! Once I've finished the fine-tuning, I'll post up some pics.

Some charger will tell you how full the batter is or you can check the volt. Full charge should be almost 13v I think. 6v will run the pump at half power so it last twice as long. My last DIY tank only lasted 4-5 hours on a charge at 12v.
