Fallow question

The sump I'm referring to was connected to the 220g I sold and has been empty since before Christmas. The sump had 6" of water in it from then until last Tuesday. What I was thinking about putting the media into is the 210g sump that's hooked to my 625g. Which I'm not using the media on

Again , it just depends on the risk you want to take.. If i was setting that system up I would use all new , or bleach everything in the sump.. I just don't think it is worth the risk. You will have a cycle either way...

I'm aware of the risk hence why I'm not using the media and such for my big tank. I only asked about it because the pod population and life on the media isn't something you can get out of a "bottle" from a store. Also getting live rock and letting it sit fallow isn't a option either since anything that would of been alive on the rock won't be after 72 days (others have suggested that to me)

It should stay alive. The tank is still up and running like normal, it's just w/o any fish
