Can u swap out sumps?

[The reefer]

I have a 10 g sump now but I'm thinking of getting a custom made sump. Has any one done this and r there any risks?

if you had ball valves and unions put into your plumbing. should be as easy as shutting off all your plumbing (return and overflow) and then taking the unions off. Take old sump out, new sump in. Replace plumbing and fill water as needed. THen check for leaks.
