Valiente-

A 50-gallon tank should probably have some baffles in it, at least perpendicular to the long-axis of the tank to help prevent the free-surface effects that Jody is talking about. The number and position of the baffles really depends on the tank geometry though.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
