Sump transfer

[OrangeFaucett10]

I have an older sump with display straight to sump and live rock with no socks. I want to upgrade my sump but it’s well established and I’m concerned about disrupting the ecosystem with a brand new fresh sump (same live rock). Is there a concern? Tips? Tricks?

Barely will disturb any of it. Most of your eco system is in your tank. Meaning your display tank

Thanks for the quick reply

How big is your sump?

I have 180gallon tank as sump that I had to do some major cleaning/reconstructing of baffles in it, it took me all day to do it. While my 400 gallon display was just running on flow pumps.

Your tank might go through a speed bump but nothing crazy. Your losing the life on your sump walls but it will bounce back keeping the same bio media
