I accidentally added two part epoxy to my reef aquarium and it crashed the system. The system was up for about a year and I was just mounting Coral and was trying something different.

I am completely emptying the tank and getting new sand and cleaning everything and going to reset. I’m going to use already cycled Live rock from a friend, but I was wondering if you guys have any tips and tricks.

Since the rock is already cycled, I know it will jumpstart the cycling process, but should I have a cleanup crew right away to help reduce further introduction of bacteria and algae. Is there anything I can do to ensure the tank success from the beginning?
 
How much epoxy did you accidentally add to the tank?
