Sort of a major re-plumb on my established reef tank tomorrow as swapping out the Iwaki to a Barracuda and increasing to 1.5" on both sides of the pump.

Some of the coral will be in the air during this so want water back in the tank ASAP. How long until safe to have water back in the lines?

Yea... I didn't remember how long exactly. But it's not like you have to wait hours. I think I ran my sump on my last tank after 10-15 minutes. No problem.
