So my current setup is getting cluttered in the display with large amounts of frags from corals I'm growing out for trade. I'm sitting on about 30+ frags that I'm growing out which is making my DT a bit ugly. What I'm thinking of doing is removing my entire sump emptying it out and giving it a good cleaning. It's full of detitrus that covers the bottom of all 3 bays. I have about 20lbs of live rock in the middle section. that I would try to either break up or get rid of.
The game plan would be to take it apart clean everything then break up the live rock then wash it off. Once its washed place it into the center section making a layer that I can put a large frag rack on. This way I can move all of my frags into the sump. I'll have a cheap orbit LED strip for now with a small power head (out of all the frags about 20-25 are zoas)
has anyone ever done this or something similar? when I google search it i find maybe 2 or 3 threads but no one gives any real decent input on how it worked out over time.
Here is the sump setup. The photo is old but the sump is still the same as this photo except I now run a cheato reactor. The small tank on the right is no longer setup because its just a pain trying to have a frag tank not on the same system.
