Rubbermaid tub is one.My aquarium is leaking. What's the safest/easiest way to setup a temporary tank? We are about to move house as well so buying a new aquarium is not a good option for now.
What kind of fish?Right now is 110 gallon. Another issue is that we are planning to move house soon, in around one or two months. I don't have too many corals currently, I can move them to my nano tank. But the fish is the problem.
This is what I did when I moved and all my livestock survived a week or 2 in the brute with live rocks, heater, powerhead aimed at rocks & light. The live rock is a must for filtration if u intend to keep them in brute long period otherwise regular water change would suffice.Brute on wheels?
I would love to try this if only my new house is not a multifamily house and we are going to live in the second floor. I probably won't bring my 110 gallon and fix it. I will downgrade. We will probably live there around 2 years. So I don't really want something permanent.I would also say definitely a Rubbermaid 100g stock tank, powerheads, heaters, gerry rigged protein skimmer and 10% weekly water changes.
You can always reuse the Rubbermaid as a large sump if your designing a basement sump in the new house.

My wife loves them. We had them since they are babies. I don't think she agrees of selling them. But yeah maybe AIO is not the way to go. The thing is I am pretty sure that we will move again in two years, I don't want to complicate the setup yet. My current plan is to move the coral into my nano tank since i just started with corals and i don't have many of them. And having a FOWLR setup.Those type of fish you have will not do well in most AIO tanks because they tend to be on the smaller side of 50g. And for 2 months in a temporary tank, you're much better off selling the fish and starting over when your ready in the new house. Three of the nicer AIO that come to mind are the Red Sea, Waterbox and IM tanks.
Suspecting the plumbing, this was my first plumbed tank. I think I managed to stop them but we'll see. I still want a backup plan though.Agree on Rubbermaid tub and repair should be fairly easy. Do you know where it’s leaking from ?
As I do, have a tub or two on hand .... just in caseSuspecting the plumbing, this was my first plumbed tank. I think I managed to stop them but we'll see. I still want a backup plan though.
