Hey guys.
I moved to the US a while ago, and I started to miss the tank I used to have back home. On the weekend I bought a 5 gallon and set it up, with a couple of plants. One of my good online friends who lives in another state offered to send me filter sponge from one of her old tanks. If it was packed it in a Ziploc bag with water/damp paper towels and sealed well, could she mail it to me? If it's out of the tank but still wet, how long will the good bacteria live, does anyone know?
Thanks!
