Easy, put a hose below the plants and then suck the water from there.

Put the bucket on the ground and siphon into it. Otherwise you could use a net to get any that go into the bucket out of it after scooping the water and put them back into the tank. It seems like unnecessary hassle, a siphon is much simpler, up to you though.
