I could in fact put it in a 45 gal drum after rinsing, put a pump on it and heater (even rins it wit salt water),

run it for 2 weeks while stirring it dayly and maybe even refreshing the water in it each 2 ore 3 days to get as much dead stuf out before introducing it back in the new frag tank ( and I can do the introduction in a gallon eacg few days, covering my bsck several ways
