That sounds like a fine idea. You could even make that 50 a permenant fixture by making it a refugium or a frag tank.

I am sorry for my English..
I can connect a 50 gal plastic tank with old water and some biological material to the new system for some days , is it good idea ?

I will support the new system with a 50 gal tank old water and some biological surfaces in it , for the first 15 days – is it good idea ?-

I am not sure I understand the question here. Could you rephrase?

thank you for the quick response !
the reaction of live rock in the new place is the main worry ..

You can certainly use the liverock and water provided you take out the water you want to use prior to removing the liverock and making a mess.

I don't see any reason why you could not be successful with this transition.
