I had to tear down my 37 tall for about 2 days for a move. Since I run a canister filter and had the water in it the whole time, do you think the recycleing period will be pretty short??? I have a sandy substrate and my equipment is in my signature line thanks!!
Gotta a cycling question!!

newbie here, but....
Would you NOT kill the beneficial aerobic bacteria, if left in a canister filter for two days? In other words, doesn't oxygenation need to be supplied?
Just wonnerin

Nevermind the firemouths. I guess the problem I am having is just the fish selection. 37 tall is kind of an inbetween for the larger fish and the smaller fish. In other words, I could have a community tank or keep one medium cichlid and a pleco. I wish I had a bigger tank!! AHHHH!!!!
The tank has been running for a few hours to let the sand return to the bottom and such. I found that I have a small outbreak in spiral shell snails (name???). They all seemed to survive the transport. When I drained the tank, I left enough water to keep the sand wet and hopefully the bacteria alive too. I hope to see a clear tank in a couple of days!
