Need Advice on Tank Restart/Upgrade

[Will777]

My 150 gallon reef tank is neglected and in poor shape since I’ve lost a majority of my coral and fish to a 4 day power outage. I want to restart with a new tank. I don’t have many fish, just a couple of clownfish and damsels. I do have a very large frogspawn colony that I want to keep safe. I would have to remove my old tank to put in the new tank. My rock is covered in hair algae. Should I reuse my sand, rock, and water to avoid a major cycle in the new tank? I just don’t want to lose the frogspawn. How should I go about transferring to the new tank? I really appreciate any helpful advice.

You can always set the coral and rocks up temporarily in one of those black rubbermaid tubs. All you need to do is re-setup the lights, add a heater and some flow/filtration while you setup the new tank.
