    If I were to change my filtration system from a wet/dry to a refugium....what do I have to be cautious of? Meaning...my tank is 58 gallons with quite a bit of coral and a few fish....if I change over filters, I don't want to lose everything. What can I do to make this as smooth as possible. Will it have to cycle again if I change filtration systems?

    Remove the wet/dry media a quarter at a time every week or two. Then convert over. Should not cause a cycle with seasoned live rock.
