The Biological load on the filter should still be the same if you aren't adding any extra fish, so you could put the new fish in the new tank using the old filter.

keep the bio load small, as said above. I would also not fill the tank to the max, fluval 3+ is fo a max f 130ltr, so maybe fill only 190-200 ltrs. If you have an airstone, it may help to pop that in, until you can get a new filter.

if water changes are once every 7 days, maybe change the water every 4-5 days, just to help the filter.
