Really all you need is maybe $15 worth of parts.
1 multiple way ganged valve (any pet store will have them)
airline tubing 1 foot for the intake then about 3 feet for each output,
If you really want to be cheap i believe you can pick this up at home depot.
1 bag of straws. now this may be tricky i just happened to have some with the perfect diameter to slide tightly over the tubing.

Attach a one foot piece of hose to the input on the valve,
Wrap it up and over into the tank using one of the hose holders on the valve.
The other hoses go on the output's.
You can run 4 at a time or one doesn't matter.
when doing multiple buckets you only need to start the siphon on the first hose the others will start automatically.
Use the dial on the valve to adjust your drip rate.
