Default Re: Trash Can to Baitwell conversion - advice?

I've kept many fish alive in spaces that you wouldn't think were big enough.
I concur with the above.

Don't get greedy. Too many fish = death
Airstones aren't necessary if you are exchanging water fast enough.
Cull out the dead/dying which are "consuming" the life support of the ones that are in good shape. And use them.

In addition keeping the fish in the dark helps. I always keep the lid on cooler/livewells closed as much as I can. It helps calm them down.
