Would that be safe or would the toxins still somehow release in the tank when placed back?

Just exploring some options while I get prepared. Might set up a quick tank I have empty. 38g. Use some water from my clow tanks and top up with new salt mix. Transfer fish (if possible) over. I have lots of rocks. Would be difficult at the least to get the fish without removal. Which could pose a new issue on top of the Dino's.

Input please.

I had Dino's for over a year and tried elevated ph and manual siphoning. The only thing that worked was removing the sand and removing each rock and scrubbing it in the sink.

Btw - my Dino's looked just like yours
