Down here the flow and the filtration of the water is important but the water temperature is a bait killer.  
My mom's boat does not have a livewell.  I carry a similar system to yours when I am in her boat.  We don't use greenbacks but it keeps shiners alive all day if we add ice to keep the water from boiling. We keep shrimp alive in a six-pack cooler with ice on the bottom and a layer of newspaper on top of that.  This leaves the livewell free to put our catch.  Two out of three of my livewells will keep speckled trout alive indefinitely.
