I have done it before with much issues.Depends on how much detris is tapped.Your water will messy for a day.You can pusome plastic over the bed mininize a sand storm.Also do to te movng our detrivores might be alittle stress and yor nitrates might rise some
You can reuse it for sure. you will need to do some heavy filtering, skimming, and water changes to get the detritus out. blow around every other day for a few weeks to keep things stirred up so your filters will pick up the loose stuff. dont blow hard enough for a sand storm but hard enough for the silt to stirup. good luck. risky if you have fish in the system. subtrait first, let system settle out then animals recommended.
