Zach, there is not much in the way of designing involved in a 5 gallon tank, all you need is a bucket and a piece of steel that you don't mind ruining. In my opinion the best bucket set-up will have a sheet of steel bent in a circle so it lines the entire bucket, it gives a lot of surface area, allowing you to run higher amperage if desired and requires less cleaning, and it eliminates most of the "line of sight" issue. About any old piece of steel that will fit in the bucket will work fine for a sacraficial anode, it doesn't have to be pretty. Usually it works best with the rusty part as close to the anode as you can get it without touching. I get the best results with an anode with at least twice the surface area of the rusty part, and the more amperage the merrier. A lot of guys want to use rebar and 5 or 6 amps but I don't see how they ever get anything done. You must maintain good connections, I fasten copper wire to the part and the anode and then make the connections above the waterline. Cleaning an assembly, you will need to move the connection around to all the parts you can because when it starts cleaning and breaks the bond between two parts it will only clean the part with the connection and stop cleaning the other part. Keep the rusty part submerged. Use washing soda. I've been doing it for about ten years and am completly sold, I bet once you try it you will be too.
