    I place on manual fill to begin with. After filling, I place on auto fill. Anytime I am going to be running on plane, I switch to full aerate.

    I run manual fill till full or I remember, then auto fill and auto recirculate with timer at high. Never had a dead one in my skeeter and they are about h to calm down at weigh in. Only time I do it different is early year when water temps are below 70, and I just run auto fill

    I manual fill with livewell plugs in. I put recirculate on auto. When water heats up I put recirculate on manual (on all the time) and turn on my oxygenators. I will pump out a little bit of water and add fresh a few times in warmer water. Easy and never had any problems. I'm usually fighting them to get them out of the livewell!
