Hi,
We will have a blackout in the building today for 1.5 hours during some maintenance stuff. My normal planted aquarium will probably be ok, but what to do with the external filter?
Do I have a bucket full of dead bacterial mass causing problems if I do not do anything? How fast the bacteria approximately dies if the filter is shut down? Are there any tricks for a situation like this, keeping the filter masses moist in a plastic bag to ensure also enough oxygen etc.?
