I'm going to be taking down my 55g in order to put a new tank in it's place. While the new tank cycles, I am housing a few fish in a few 10 gallon tanks plumbed to 1 sump. I don't want to put these in the same system with my fish system because I'm doing a preventative hyposalinity treatment with them. I have a Favia colony and a combo rock with Ricordia & Zoas. I want to set up a temporary tank for these for a period of 8 weeks. Anyone recommend some successful methods for doing this?

You'll have to do 2 seperate systems like I did. One housed my fish in QT and the other housed all of my coral and live rock.
 
You could take a large Rubbermaid container and fill with water, rock, corals and fish. Power head and heater and u should be good to go. I just did this and everything was fine
 
Yeah, one of those big buckets from Menards or Home Depot would be just fine, and it should hold everything. The rubbermaid ones are reef safe.
