    Default **Filter Question Please!**

    I just painted the back of my tank, and it is moved out and needs to dry. I have an airstone and heater in the tank, but I can not run the 2 AC 110 ~

    Can I leave them over night? Will that kill my bio filter? Should I put tank water in them if I do?

    Thanks!

    If you could leave the media damp, out of the filter, it would be fine. Just don't leave it submerged under water. I know you can place the media in front of a powerhead or you can place it in the tank with an airstone underneath it to keep o2 circulation.

    I was going to pm you, My Dear! Eddie the filters are empty, so can I just leave all the sponges in there?

    Sure thing Marie, as long as they stay damp, just not submerged.
