Get yourself a filter sock or something similar and suck out as much as you can through the filter sock, so that you can re-use the water. Once your blackout is over I would also think about reducing the photo period to 8-10 hrs.

Piddle in the pond...lol...it's only 15 gallons, so 75x turnover, not too shabby..and photoperiod is reduced already...
