You can keep your aquaclear 70 and slowly remove the bio-balls, and use the filter for mechanical/ chemical filter. Bio-balls creates excessive nitrate. You would want to rely on live rock and sand for biological filtration assuming you have that in your tank already. Throw on a hob skimmer and you are good to go. Adding a sump is optional, but its beneficial since you can have extra water volume, a place to hide most of your equiptments, have a chamber for a refugium to grow macro algae, space for more liverock and sand, surface skims via overflow box and keeping waterline constant on your display tank.
