Drilling a tank

[bmkid1997]

Hey all, question about drilling tanks. I’ve got a 75 gallon marine land I’ve had running on a canister for a year. Frankly it’s gotten old with the canister, and I really want to upgrade my gear and start a sump. I have a spare 55 sitting around, is it possible to put my livestock there for holding with rock/heater/gyre/filter for time being if I get my tank drilled and such? I don’t want to risk losing coral/fish, but if I “upgrade” to a new tank, my budget won’t be high and I’d lose a lot of water volume & display area. Any advice or suggestions would be fantastic!

You should be fine for a short period of time. The small space might lead to some fish aggression. I would keep an eye on ammonia and your other levels. Get new sand if possble. If not, rinse your old sand.
