Hello everyone,
I've gotten some feedback for this topic over on Reddit, but I was wondering what you guys though about a few beneficial bacteria questions I had:
- How long can beneficial bacteria can survive without oxygenation (like when you turn off a canister filter)?
- How long can filter media be out of the water before BB starts to die off?
- Are there good rules of thumb to consider when doing maintenance? (like how long can the canister be off or sponge be out of the water?)
It's my first post here, so sorry if I'm not following the rules.
