This is on the Stealth Facebook page but wanted to put it here where it is easier for peeps to find.  This worked really well, actually keeps livewell full up to the top of the drain hose with a gentle flow.  If you're really keeping a lot of fishy bait in there you may want to skip the power converter to have more flow.

Livewell upgrade for additional water depth.  Used a 12V brushless aquarium pump and a 12v to 6V converter to reduce current draw to 80mA.

Fun!  I added a rechargeable aerator pump to oxygenate but not a pump to keep the level up.  Kept some larger smelt recently and they lasted ok without either. Love em’ livees.  Thanks for the idea. :smt006

That’s a neat idea. Do you know what pump is used? I may copy that set up since most of my live bait fishing is drifting.

This was the pump I used.  I just looked for the lowest current draw brushless pump.
