Do it now before to much crap gets trapped in there. I changed mine over in my 55 after 4 months. It's a serious pain but very well worth it.

I bought a brand new rubbermaid trash can to hold all my lr and water and fish. I started to empty the tank and it leaked.
So... I used ice chests, like 4 of them. I had a couple of pieces of LR in one with all the fish and then used a couple more for the rest of the corals and water. I put a ph in the one with the fish for circulation. It took me about 6 hours total i think. I also tore my stand apart to put in my sump/refugium so it took longer.

If you shield the water coming back into the tank, it won't get cloudy or very minimal at that. I was able to add right away. I used live sand so I did NOT rinse it. If you use dead sand you will need to rinse thoroughly.
