Hi to all i have a 30g cube mixed reef 8 months old. i was planing to replace my old rock scape and sand to new rock scape and sand. the plan is i will remove my corals and LR and shipon my sand, then i repace it with new sand and put the new rock scape and place all my corals. do i need to cycle again my tank for replacing all my LR and sand to new one? TIA!

If I go will MH I will be getting a Sunlight Supply Lumen Max Elite HQI and Lumatek DIMMABLE 250W / 400W Metal Halide Electronic Ballast which I will be running at 250w with a XM 10k plus the 2 t5 actinics I already have. Total cost ~480

If I choose LED I will probably go with a MaxSpect
