This is probably a dumb question, but I need to move the sandbed out of my tank. How long will it stay "alive" with no skimmer / pumps / etc? I would normally assume not long, but I've seen "live sand" in sealed plastic bags before, so I figured I'd ask. I'm planning on just putting it in a 5 gallon bucket with enough water to keep it barely submerged.
Thanks!
Thanks!
