DIY aio 10g tank.

Ok so I have a standard 10gallon tank that I would like to turn into an aio tank. My plan is to use glass and silicon to attach it to the back of the tank. I plan on derimming the small area that the surface skimmer will be. I will use a Dremel with a special bit to do this. I will split up the chambers to fit an ato and dosing tubes and my heater along with chemical,mechanical and bio filtration. I'll put a picture together for how I would like it to look in a few

more specifics will come soon. Im going to just buy a new tank for it as it's like $10 and I want to transfer everything over without a cycle could I just use a syphon to suck the sand and water out of the tank and into the new tank? Also the aio part will be outside the tank.

Sucking the sand might be a problem because you are mixing it and all of the trapped waste and gas will be let out
