Good morning,
I am sure this topic has been covered at some point. I will be moving over the next month and transporting my filters and tanks to new location. I believe I have read 4-6 hrs is the amount of time the beneficial bacteria can survive in a filter while it is off.
Is this accurate? I have had my power go out before and have hooked filters/heaters up to my generator to ensure no incidents occured.
Secondly, if I transport plants and driftwood from the tank and keep it in tank water during the trip will this make a difference as oppose to potentially letting this stuff dry out, from a bacteria standpoint.
Thanks for your help,
jb
