St. Louis Cardinal Tetras Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Hi, I am going to be getting some established, disease free filter media from a reputable LFS but it is 40-60 minutes away. Does it matter how I transport it or can I just put it in a bag with some tank water? I don’t want to get home and all the BB be dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Just put in a bag or bucket with dechlorinated water. I wouldnt be surprised if the LFS supplys you with this water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquater Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 It should be fine - don't drastically change temp to ice cold or anything. Like James said it will be fine, just keep it wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GardenStateGoldfish Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Just put it in a bucket and keep it under water and it should be fine, if you were really worried you can run a USB air pump in the bucket with it but I would think that to be excessive, 40-60 minutes shouldn't be a problem if kept underwater.

St. Louis Cardinal Tetras Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Thank you all for your suggestions. It’s funny you mentioned using a USB air pump because I have one coming in the mail should get here Monday. But yea I figured it would be fine just in some tank water.
