New here, know nuffink and use tap water and kitchen salt! 
Calm down!
Basically this is my first ever tank.
I had the original spring a leak a while back, I had a duplicate tank in the garden, the swap took about 24 hours as the lfs was shut and I don't keep salt around!
55 litre overall, AIO runs 40 - 45 litres of water.
During the leak everything was stored in tubs and my sump.
... Might not have mentioned the big tank?
Where was I?
Ok yes, I saved my 10 plus year old sandbed and put it in the replacement, it was covered with a courser grain substrate before being filled, I had very little cloudiness and everything went back in after the little holiday, I used a lot of water from the tubs, it was topped up with water from the big tank.
Current direction is "rescue any corals", the gcg died, had it for ages but it did rule out sps.
Bottom right it a little green spot mandarin, about 4 weeks in, rescue, she is still super thin but less thin than when I got her!
The caulerpa lets me judge how the nutrients are, a lot of nutrient hungry softies in there, if the caulerpa is vigourous I don't harvest it, we sort of have a balance.
No waterchanges.
My secret little puddle of water!
