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.
I have 4 fish and a bunch of coral frags. Wouldn't take me months to set the tank up again. Probably just a week or two.

I guess corals and fish could be transported up in them and then be fine in them for a week or two while I get the tank up and running again
