Smitty's Reef

ive notice that the stand on my tank is breaking, and im sure ill have to take my tank apart and fix the stand. would it be ok to save the water, sand and the live rock on containers? the process of fixing the stand should take me less than 2 hours, would it be ok to place everything back in the tank after the fix? would the water get ruined?
 
Yes you can put the sand, rocks and water in a tub. However, i would probably get a totally new stand. The tank will weight around 10lbs per gallon and unless the stand is well constructed, it could collapse causing a disaster
