[AquaticLife] Bio-Wheel
I wouldn’t worry about dead bacteria causing a problem. Our tanks are full of dead bacteria since most microbes have a very short lifespan and are constantly multiplying, dying and multiplying some more. There are probably 1,000’s of different microbes calling our tanks home that go through their life-cycle and we don’t think twice about it.
That was me that mentioned about the power outage problem but that would be dumping the stagnant, polluted water from the filter reservoir into a tank all at once when the power came back on which is a lot different than a dried out filter.
If it was me, I’d probably soak it in some HOT, salty tap water for a few hours, then rinse it and use it. Between the heat and the salt, 99% of any bacteria would be rendered lifeless.
