Hi all I woke up to see my over flow try we’re my sump sits on is full of water . I couldn’t find a leak in any of my plumbing or tank but I think the bottom of my 40g breeder is leaking . I can see it building up . Am going to go buy a new 40g breeder and move all my baffles and stuff over but how can I keep everything alive well I do it it will probably take a few days to switch everything over and let silicon dry . My main display it around 90g

I wouldn't be concerned about disconnecting your sump entirely from your display for a few days. just make sure to provide enough flow in your display and reroute your dosing tubes if any into your display.

just put the heater in the display and make sure you have enough circulation and you'll be fine.

Take your time and make sure the sump is how you want it. No need to rush this.
