3 bucket system does work great as long as you keep up with the ice. my ice maker couldn't keep up with the ice i was using last year for it. this year i just got a black rubbermaid garbage pail and an aerator for a 60 gallon tank with two outputs both connected to 6in air stones. when im going out for the night i just throw ice in some sandwich bags and toss the eels and ice in a soft sided cooler.
if your looking to keep a bunch of eels set up a tank, everything i mentioned only ran me about $30. you just have to keep the water cool and change the water every couple of days depending on how many eels you have. if your not looking to keep a lot use the 3 bucket system.
