I went to the mini brew site. It looks like you are using the hot liquor and mash tun buckets converted to function like a conical fermentor. I cannot tell if the original connections in the lid are airlocks or not. So first things first, if that lid is not air tight, and you don't also have some sort of air lock to let air escape and not enter, it's not useful as a fermentor. If you already have carboys, then either modify your "fermentor" to serve that purpose or put an airlock on a carboy and use that instead.
Given that initially you have air steadily exiting, it's possible that your beer is ok and thus get it in a carboy now (usually undesirable but lesser of your two evils). The longer you wait, and if temps drop, O2 and all the microscopic bugs will find their way into your beer
