Herring in Bucket Question

[go_fish]

If I get my herring the day before I fish - I keep them in our garage. I use two Home Depot buckets (six gallons?). I use an aerator that has two aerator hoses. I put six herring in each bucket. I also add the "blue powder" you get from the bait store (the come in a little plastic bucket) (I use shad keeper). The next day before I go fishing I put all the herring into one styrofoam bucket with an aerator. Never have a problem.
