Hmmm, that's actually not a half bad idea. I've got the lights, and the powerheads, and the dosing equipment, and if it were just the corals I wouldn't need much by ways of filtration. I'd probably lose some but I could probably live with that. If I was going to go through all the trouble, I might be able to convince Kelly to let me buy a new display tank that doesn't have those awful internal overflows....

This is something to think about for sure.

Come to think of it, I could probably even just do it using my sump and do it in stages. I could put all the corals in the 45 gallon water change chamber in my sump, set the lights up over top, and use one of my spare submersible pumps to move water from the water change chamber back to the skimmer chamber. I'd still have access to my skimmer, dosing, and auto-top off equipment equipment while I cleaned out the display, as well as a fully cycled, rock filled refugium chamber.

Once I was done with the display, I could cycle it, then move all the corals back up there and run it sump less for a couple of weeks while emptied, cleaned, and dried the sump and equipment.... This is doable.
