AquaTech is a brand of filter. It sat in tap water for about a minute. You think it's gonna be ok? Thanks for the reply.

So I was tired when I was doing some tank maintenance on my 30gal and accidentally washed my AquaTech biofoam with tap water. Am I best putting it back into the filter and letting nature take its course or should I put new biofoam in and let the tank re-cycle? Any advice is greatly...

Hey! Thanks for the quick reply. RE: Ammonia This is what I got for the ammonia remover: I still have the bag with the ceramic ones, but its been in a dry garbage bin for a day or so and has dried out. Are they useless now? I will go to Big Al's tomorrow to pick up the API test kit. I'm...
