About a year ago when I switched to a trickle filter on an established tank, I let the tricklefilter run for about 2 months in conjuntion with the UGF. Then I proceeded to remove half the UGF waited about 3 weeks and pulled the other half of the filter out. This didn't go without incident however, I did have a rise in Nitrite, but no amonia rise. I didn't loose anything, but I was a little worried. I had 3 corals (leather, brain and bubble) and an anemone or 2, along with a few fish. everything survived probably because there was no amonia buildup that I could measure. maybe I should have let it run longer with 1/2 the UGF? at anyrate, its done, I had no problem.
