Ok.. so the situation is, in my community tank, i have two canisters running simultaneously (because i had two lying around but only one tank to filter - 400L)
When i disconnected one of them for its routine clean one of the u-pipes snapped off clean.. bye bye filter.. I'm getting a replacement cannister but due to Chinese New Year this it won't be available to put back in until 5 days after it happened.
My question is - the beneficial bacteria? How long is it good for and can/should i transfer the old media into the new canister? Or should i just start a fresh?
Thanks in advance!
