as long as you have roughly 1watt per gallon of water, you will be fine

If you say that 1W is for 1 Gallon, then I need 4 - 5W air pump for 1 bucket.
Found 600L/H (159G/H), 4 way, 10W air pump, is it any good? If it's 10W, then I can use it for two bubble buckets at the same time. eBay link
This looks much better and can do 3 buckets at once, 18W and 840L/H. eBay linkhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Powerful-SIX-Outlet-Aquarium-Air-Pump-Starter-KIT-/180393528756?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Fish&hash=item2a004acdb4

That's correct if you are planning on having 5gal. of water in each bucket. but say you only put 3gal. of water then you could then make that 10watt pumps work for 3 buckets

I used to use 1 pump for both tubs, not enough bubbles. 1 pump per tub Perfect!
I use 1 pump per big tub. In my igloos I just use two or three of the dual diaphragm 4 outlet pumps.
Happy Happy Bubble Time!

Hey Puffer, what is the noise like on that thing? I imagine it puts of a sound level to match the air being pumped 
While i have only had my air pumps for a relatively short while, every week i think about the possibility of one failing. If i were relying on just the 1 airpump i think i'd want another one in the cupboard just in case. I use 2 pumps per tote for redundancy purposes. Are there any brands (such as the one Puffer links to) that have much greater quality levels and such? Ebay can often play host to some real crappy generic rubbish.
Boomer, that looks like a lovely setup, nice and clean and easy to work in. I like!
