Air Stones Enough?

I need to know if an an airstone can keep a good enough flow in a 5 gallon bucket of water, to keep the salt from sinking. I'm worried also, because the air stones wont go to the bottom, and just stay at the top, will there be enough flow if they are on the top?

I ended up using two air pumps for one jug, and the powerhead for the other. I think that the two air pumps will be enough for the jug.
