Put it in a Brute trash can with power head and heater it will be fine

Periodically add a food source . Maintain it as if it was another’s tank. Personally I would not sell it as Tonga is hard to come by if you can even get it at all . Definetly worth the effort !!!

The only problem would be stuff that needs light. If you have corals. Coralline will die off but it’s not going to hurt anything
