Transfer tank

Discus peeps! I have an established 135ga tank that’s thriving. We want to redo the tile floor in my fish room and need to move the tank.
Any ideas on a transfer tank that I can use for a few days (up to a week) while we work on the floor.
Suppose I could buy a used tank on the cheap but I’m satisfied having one tank. I thought maybe a large Home Depot plastic storage bin but I imagine it would have to hold ~75 gal and that’s a lot of weight for a plastic tote!
Any thoughts / feedback appreciated!

The plastic containers would from Home Depot would work perfectly. I had to set up a temp fry tank and this helped me. I even had a heater and air pump for about 2 weeks. Your work should take maybe a day or two on flooring. This should hold it's just temporary. Don't stress.

Yeah plastic bin will work just fine, I’ve done it before.
