Ok. So, I have an issue. My filter sock backed up and overflowed onto my floor causing damage to my hard wood. We had a company in and there is moisture all through the floor.
Now, here is my question. I have to disassemble my tank to move it. It has a 20gal sump and is a 90 gal tank. The fish will live in a cooler for now. But, how do I keep all my bacteria alive as I may not be able to set it up for a week and get it going again. If I was to just run a pump to circulate the water in the sump would that keep the bacteria alive for a week?? Or any suggestions as to how I could keep it going. I have 55 fish and don't have the room to support them long term and would love to not have the tank cycle on me again. A mini cycle I could deal with but not a month like the initial setup cycle took.
