Left Filter And Heater Unplugged For 14 Hrs After Water Change!

i did a water change yesterday and completely forgot to plug back in the heater and filter. well 14 hrs later i noticed and quickly plugged it all back. will it all be ok? or will the tank start to cycle again?

should be fine, ive done this a couple of times, aslong as the temp didn't drop too low you should be ok, are the fish swimming and feeding ok? thats the best way to check.

luckily the tank was sitting at 30 degrees anyway as im treating white spot. so it only dropped to 24 degrees. everyone in there seems ok. will do a water test in a bit, just did a water change.


thanks

If your bacteria has died then you will have to do lots of water changes but the problem is your tank has whitespot so it will dilute the treatment i suspect, depending on what medication you are using my bacterial colony could have already been wiped out. Just keep checking your water stats regularly, hope all goes well.
