So I broke down my 90, put a legit black paint background on it and put it all together. Well while I was moving the tank and waiting on the paint to dry I kept the bio media from my AC110 in a 5g bucket, I added a smidgen of ammonia and put a air stone/disk under the bag o' ceramic. It was like this for a good 3 hrs untill I got everything put back together and running. I dont have a fish in the tank atm but do you think the bb is still alive?
 
i think the bb is still alive.... done the same kinda thing in the past and had no problem gettin the tank cycled up in a few hours
 
You should be fine

You don't start to loose large amounts of BB unitl 20 to 24 hours.

Excellent idea to put some ammonia in there.
