Will you have to break down the existing tank and then set it back up again in order to add the sump/fuge/necessary plumbing? If so, then you might have a small mini-cycle due to stirring up the sand and such.
But if it's just a matter of hooking up the sump/fuge without disturbing the established tank, then I wouldn't think you would see any kind of cycle. HTH

Any cycle you have should be minimul.
I highly recommend you throughly test you system after you set it up. Make sure it does not flood during a power outage and does not flood after power is returned. I learned the hard way. If you are using an HOB overflow, check that air bubles do not stick to the topof the utube. Again, learned the hard way with loss of syphon.
