Fish Crazy
I had a 15g tank that used a filter until I upgraded tank and obviously filter, now the tank wasnt the cleanest tank in the world and i did leave the tank full, gravel/water/fishpoop n all. But now i am starting up the tank again. I need the filter and i am wondering how long the bacteria in the filter can last without heat? I figure that there was enough decaying plant/fish poop in the tank to fuffil the ammonia needs of the bacteria but am wondering if they have survived. I have placed the filter (along with bacteria hopefully) in my larger tank to either
A) Re-cycle the filter
B) Keep the surviving bacteria alive until the new tank is ready to go.
Any veiws?
Thanks
Greg
