Hello again.
This is not exactly an emergency, as I have it mostly under control. But I'm losing my cycle. We had some pretty nasty storms this morning, and we had a few brown-outs. The very last one, nearly 3 hours ago, fried my filter. I panicked, but had an air pump which would work to keep it aerated. However, I forgot a crucial step. The filter has one bit of media-- its charcoal cartridge. Is it still ok for me to put it in the tank to keep the bacteria alive?
When I get a new filter, am I going to lose my cycle? I have no filter media other than the charcoal pad in my filter and am hoping that is enough.
Also, what filter would be best for a 10 gallon Marineland aquarium? (If you want, I'll find the link to this aquarium and post it here.)
Sorry, maybe this isn't an emergency. But I do hope that it doesn't turn into one.
