I would medicate with something more useful for what is lurking inside those feeders, I'd use praziquantal or metro

if you plan on doing this regularly, why not just throw a sponge filter in there instead of just an airstone. granted, you will need to grow some BB on the sponge, but its a simple way to get more feeders out of the whole operation

I would rather do the sponge than just an air stone and I have a lot of sponges I am currently using in a sump (for my 300) after the chamber.

That was the first thing that came to mind but my air pump that I am going to use is not that strong. Would it matter if it does not push out that many bubbles?

Bad enough they're gonna get eaten, on top of that, they gotta sit in a bucket with 5 dozen of their friends choking on each other's waste. Give 'em a break.

What?? ... A break? I gave them a break the day I bought them!
Besides, the break they get is, not choking on their waste and having the chance to live in a 300gl... if they are fast enough

Prazi-Pro is a very good medicine, the reason I suggest these is because the worst diseases your fish might catch from feeders is internal parasites which are generally very difficult to treat.
