The ice packs won't last that long anyway...
Even quicker setup with just two buckets. A 4qt shiner bucket with a bunch of small 3/8 " holes DRILLED into the bottom. (A drill is just much cleaner as there is little plastic flash left over to scrape the eels). A 5 gallon bucket with a brick, bigger rock, or block of wood on the bottom. Fill the bottom layer of the shiner bucket with ice cubes. Give the ice a quick mist of the hose, put the eels on top and put the "eel" bucket into the 5 gal on top of the block. All of the melt will fall into the big bucket and the eels won't drown in there slime.
There is one advantage to the two bucket, the eels are slowed down more when on the ice then just cold water dripping on top of them. The disadvantage is that the three bucket has slightly lower maintenance as you need to rotate the ice more frequently and give the eels an occasional mist with the 2 bucket...
