Are you hoping to do multiple plants in one bucket, or multiple plants in multiple buckets?
If you hope to use 1 bucket/plant, these might be more convenient (no need to drill a hole, but they do use more hydroton)
If you're hoping on having multiple plants in just the one bucket, you could use the 2 outlet version of your airpump (but it's only a few dollars cheaper, so maybe it's not worth it).
