Just transfer your filters sponges from the fry tank into the filter of the main tank you are running, then when you want to use the fry tank again just put the filter media back into the filter of the fry tank. No need to keep the water it would be stagnant - you can take some of the water from your main tank for the fry tank and then just top the main tank up.

If theres no room in your main tanks filter for the extra sponges then just run the fry filter alongside in your main tank to keep the bacteria alive until you need it again.
