Keep the old, but get a new larger one. The old is already cycled...
assuming you're going to some how keep it running during the remodel?
Perhaps on the holding container? ~ jan


Well, that's a question too: I've got a clean 55 gallon HDPE drum I
could put the creatures in during the remodel. How long do you think
they would last in there? It would be awfully tight. And the frog
won't be happy without a view...


That is pretty tight. Right now is the time to get kiddy pools on
clearance. Be sure and net the top so they don't jump out, use as much of
the water from the pond as you can to fill it. ~ jan
