Some rubbermaid tubs w/heaters & ph's are fine. Make sure you have extra SW made. BTW the tank looks fine to me-nice aquascaping. Good luck if you decide to redo rockwork.

get a bunch of rubbermaid containers
bucket are always useful
drop cloth
heaters and power heads are helpful but if the room temperature is good you shouldn't have too many problems keeping corals for a few hours in the tubs but if you have them laying around i would use them.

keep in mind you're going to need a lot of containers. not just two or three get a lot.

you may think that this is also a great opportunity to do a huge water change but I wouldn't recommend it, just do a small like 10% change because you don't want to stress out the animals too much.

for the branching euphillia you may want to get a piece of styro and a rubber band fill a bucket with water and float it upside down. This way you wont hurt the membrane laying it on the floor. same thing with the candy canes. you could do it to the acros but not as necessary

how long can live rock out of the water?

 

[Sean]

sponge may die but I wouldn't worry about taking the rock out for an hour or so. You could place it on a tarp on the floor and cover it with plastic if you wanted to.

or cover it in wet towels(tank water)are you going to glue rocks together?
