Evening all!
If I was to take a tank which has been stripped in the last couple of days, clean it, and fill with new substrate/water, would I expect to see fairly rapid establishment? Or will the bacteria in the filter media have perished in the couple of days?
Just wondering if the "new" tank I'm getting at the weekend could be setup quickly, or whether I'm just replacing all the filter media too and starting totally afresh?
Happy to wait the weeks, but if I don't have to, it brings those flora and fauna a bit closer!
Cheers.
