I picked up a canister filter about 2 weeks ago (nice rig) and the guy left some of his water in it to keep the bacteria alive. Im pretty sure there are no pathogens in it.
How long can this thing be kept just sitting before the water fouls or bacteria dies off. I wanted to get to it ASAP but started gutting and remodeling a bathroom that turned into a massive project so I have not been able to build my stand yet.
Thanks.
Should I maybe fill a 5 gallon bucket with some of my tank water (after a PWC) and run the filter in that to keep something going?
