Tank break down question

[leroy_jenkinz]

Im sure this will come off weird or maybe a easier solution but here is my proposed plan...
..

Im breaking down my 180, going toa 45 jbj, i have buyers lined up for most of the live stock but
A) some of the tangs arent sold-- not comfortable putting them in the 45
B) i have to drain some water to catch the difficult ones so i can make all the different sales

So this is what i want to do, I want to take a bucket drill some holes small enough and plenty enough that it constantly has water in it and thn stick my return pump in the bucket. This will create the water tension and i think keep up a high turnover rate correct? or is it easier to just go buy a big whopping air stone?Ive attached a picture to give a visual idea of what im thinking

I think either would work really. Just depends if you already got a pump on handy to use or if you got the air pump and air stone.

It would just be the return pump from my sump. Since the water line will be below my return nozzles. And i wanted the bucket because so no fish would get sucked in
