Spawning couple in 250L bucket

[semistro]

Maybe it is a strange question, but is it possible?
I don't see why not, actually.
If I just put a filter, heater and an air pump in as normal and some hiding spots, plants and sand.
could I use it as a spawning tank?
maybe some uv lights and some sort of cover over it.
the only problem I could see occure, is that the bucket loses to much warmth.
It is a plastic 250L bucket. so no metal.

What are your guys thoughts?

ps. asking this because cichlids can get nasty when spawning

There's really no reason why it couldn't work, lots of people keep their fish in containers like this.
