What if he gives birth while I am gone Friday night or Saturday during the day??? :o

If I buy a culture of pods and use cheese cloth to screen the pumps/filter, will the babies have a fighting chance to survive until I get back?? Should I set up a nursery tank (10 gal) with my regular tank water and put my male in it. I REALLY don't want to mess with moving him around too much, or taking the chance with another tank set up. I am gun shy after dealing with my fish losses in the reef tank.
