For short periods large brute containers with some live rock and small power heads/ airstones work well. It also reduces stress on the fish because they can't see out.
When I moved my large reef tank (mostly softies) from Surrey to Burnaby 20 years ago. I kept everything in large garbage cans and rubber made totes. I had about 15 of them around the room on the floor. Unfortunately it took me over a month to set my 240 gallon back up (busy refinishing the floors and painting the new house) I lost half of the fish and corals. By time I got everything re-set up and running I got a major algae outbreak and eventually shut down that reef tank and made it a fish only tank for 15 years until the plexiglass tank started to crack and I shut it down.
