I know it's not exactly the same, but when I used to etch the PCB's at the university, we used a fish tank air pump to circulate the ferric chloride.

How much air will you need?
Not much air just enough to produce bubbles to stir the acid up, from what I have seen of fish tanks I might need a separate pump for each cell, plus it may be important to keep the gasses for each cell separate, Rick
