I have a 75 gallon fowlr tank, and need some help. My tank that just started leaking at one of the seams, I know how to fix this but I would need to take most of the water out. I had had just finished cycling a few days ago. I only have one fish in there at the time and that is a less than 1" yellow tang. I was wondering if I could keep him in a 5 gallon bucket for 3-4 days. I would just take some water out of my current tank and add a filter, heater, and powerhead. Would that be OK?

Welcome to TRT!!!!!

is this a glass or acrylic tank?

if its a glass tank once a seam has been compromised it has to be re-built....

personally I would get a bigger bin for a holding tank.. the more room the less stress so less chance of it getting sick..

also grab some PRIME

another option is if you have someone to hold it for you.

if you have a good trusted lfs some of them will hold the fish for you, usually for a small like 10 boarding fee

How big of a cooler do you have. My 150 failed one night I had mine in a 20 gallon cooler for two weeks with rock and a power head plus a heater. I had fish and rock everywhere. Sump. Cooler. Old tanks.

I would just use a big cooler if you have one
