Those ice cream buckets may be larger than you think. A 10 gallon aquarium is just 16" x 10" x 8" (I measured one). So go finish that last swig of milk in the jug in the fridge, and measure- Fill that baby up and see how big it really is! Don't just guess. You may be pleasantly surprised!

And roots don't like light, in my opinion. In a natural setting, roots never see the light of day. And algae can form on the inside of the buckets, robbing your babies of food. I'd grab some spray paint and paint it black or other dark color.
