Filter Off For A Few Days What About My Media?

[marieukxx]

I just now noticed that my filterwasn't working on my 60 litre establised tank. Funny thing is it may have been like that a few days because the other day I remember looking at my tank thinking that it didn't look right. I have an airstone so didn't really notice the lack of rippling with that on.

Anyway it was the fuse and it's on now but I'm worried about the mature madia. I did a 50% change today. Funnily enough I decided to do a bigger change for some reason and didn't even notice the filter wasn't pumping out water like usual. It only just came to me when I was sat watching tv that it wasn't on earlier when I cleaned it. So I've changed 50% water today. Plus the filter is internal and the sponge was all still soaking wet. Do you guys think the media will be ok seeing as it was sitting in the filter inside the tank all wet

Will be fine bacteria will die off at approx 12% or less a day, so for 2 days aprrox 25% if that at all. The filter will back to normal within a week so nothing to worry about, check water stats daily for 3 days just to be sure
