So my 34 Solona busted at the seam and had to move everything into a tall tupperware container that has original fish tank water.

Set up new tank on the fly and the brand new tank has a small leak at the bottom seam (just my luck:(). Luckily it is drippin g in the back and drips right into the sump. It is setup and running but I do not want to move my stuff in it for two days, new tank will not be here until Wednesday.

They have been in the tupperware since Saturday at 5pm. I have a Mandarin, Tailspot, and a firefish. I have all of the rock and corals in there along with a powerhead and heater. I have a small BTA, huge colont of duncans, frogspawn, some rics, war coral.

LFS said they will be fine in there until Wednesday but w/o a skimmer I am nervous. It is only maybe 8-10 gallons of water and 20 ponds of rock. Would it be a good idea to do a gallon water change a day or leave it be. Or should I move the corals that are not attached to rocks into new tank so they get the light? What would you do? Thanks!

When in doubt change it out. A water change wouldnt hurt anything and might provide some peace of mind.

Kinda what I figured what about the corals will they be ok without the light for two more days?

Everything will be fine as long as temp and flow isn't an issue.

Make up some water and do a couple gallons a day.

Test for ammonia. If you see it. Do a water change.
