I have a 65 gallon tnak, well established for over a year, with a Kole Tang, 2 O. Clowns, a royal gramma and flame angel. After a while, cracks in my sump are going to force me to change it out from under the aquarium. (It doesn't fit through the doors of the stand.) I don't have the time to cycle new water because I don't have anywhere to hold my current fish. How would you recommend me to save the water and move the sump out of the bottom?:confused:
 
You could always remove the water to a container to a level which allows you to slide the aquarium to access the sump and then put the water back in after the repair is complete.
 
I don't know that much about saltwater, so I won't advise you... but keeping the water in another temporary place for a little bit while you switch out sumps shouldn't affect the chemistry as far as I know.
