New tank arrived today and I am trying to get a plan of attack together for the upgrade!

The new tank is going in the same location the old tank is so I was thinking of transferring the fish and the LR pieces moving over to the new tank into a large Rubbermaid tote with a power head and the heater. How long would it be safe to keep them in the tote with just the powerhead circulating the water? It will take time to get people over to the house to help with tear down, removal, and complete set up of a new tank. I was hoping 1-2 days in the tote would be okay but looking for someone with experience having done this to give some tips!
 
Agreed, 1-2 days will be perfectly fine, don't sweat it!
