Water vapor is not as dense as CO2 or Argon.  So putting it the inert gas at the bottom and letting air and water vapor out at the top should flush the air and water vapor out.  And then seal the holes with some silicone caulk.  People use silicone to glue fish tanks together , so should work to seal the holes.  
Dan, have I told you my fish tank, silicone sealant story? 
(This was GE clear food grade silicon, which was recommended.)
~40 gal. tank, 1/4" thickness, 3' maximum dimension, 
(No top brace!!) 
I started filling it in the basement... and kinda forgot it
(which is typical of me) 
I went down and it was ~90% full, at the top the glass 
was bulging out (in my memory, which could be faulty) 
several inches on each side.. say 2" over 3'. 
I didn't stop to measure, but grabbed a bucket and 
bailed.  The silicone held.  (I added a top brace.)
