Loss Of Power - Could I Have Lost My Cycle

[dc1377]

With the storms on Friday, we lost power for about 72 hours. During this time our 10 gallon tank was down with no filtration, light or heat. I changed 3 gallons of water everyday during the outage and I added a small amount of food in the filter compartment thinking this would give the bacteria something to feed on.

Any chance I could have lost my cycle in this 72 hours? Fish look fine and the water checks out, but I did a lot of water changes.

As long as the filter media remained wet there should be minimal losses of bacteria. Keep an eye on water stats & feed lightly for the next week, just as a precaution.
