Hey guys so when I started with the hobby I only listened to my LFS when setting up my tank :( I ended up adding a bag of crushed coral to my sump and suprise suprise it's a detritus trap just touching it makes the sump cloudy and full of detritus particles. So my question is should I remove the Crushed Coral slowly like 1 cup at a time or will that cause a crash.

The crushed coral is in my heater/manifold pump location

Not a usual circumstance although it may help buffer PH. I would scoop it up with a litter scoop and place in nylon bag- Then place bag in sump. Makes it easy to rinse the coral also
