Planning on mounting a Maxijet mod on a Wavy Sea centered on the back wall. Something that would now make a huge sand pile.

Rob,
Don't remove all the sand at once! You are essentially removing a large portion of your bacterial colonization. If you remove it all at once you may cause unwanted issues, ie RTN-STN due to increases in Nitrate and Phosphate. You also need to consider adding more rock to your sump/refugium in order to replace the medium that the bacteria just lost.
I run zeovit and biopellets so these two items make up for a lack of substrate...
