Hi everyone,
I'm currently cycling my 16 gallon tank and in a nutshell, our house is being re-carpeted so the fish tank needs to be moved! I'm planning on waiting until the cycle has finished instead of disrupting it as I'd obviously need to take water out as it's too heavy. My question is when I move it, will having the filter off for maybe a day cause damage to the bacteria in it? Or because it's cycled will it just start working again as normal when I re-fill it and put the fish back in?
