I bought four from a local market for £1 each. If you're anywhere near
Leeds you can borrow them.

When I have had to move tanks only a few feet this is what I've done.
The water is syphoned into a BIG water butt until there is just enough
left for the fish. After the tanks are moved the water is pumped back
into the tanks (pond pump) with me having 4x25l on standby as, 1) The
butt isn't quite big enough, 2) I don't want to have to use dirty water
from the bottom.
