its a little different, on our sand rinse thread we dont remove the sand while water is in the tank, we disassemble the entire system down to an empty aquarium. we dont do that to always take the long road its specifically to keep you from clouding up the tank while corals are in there.
a 45 is easy, drain the water into a brute if you want to just reuse it after cleaning.
use all new is even better, thats a true param reset.
here is the most sandbed rinsers ever collected in a single post. Nine day rabbit hole read lol
quick summary
rinse only when disassembled and the sand is rinsed in tap until its clear. somehow people find a way to short change this, and rinse till not clear. We mean clear. final rinse is RO water
reassemble the cloudless tank. as much new water as you can stand to muster
shine lights back on a weaker mode not full production lighting as ramp up after job is complete and your reef will shine
