I created my own wet/dry filter, i was just wondering if beneficial bacteria on the ceramic rings die when the power goes off? note that the ceramic rings are not submerged.
When there is no power?

Yes, if you lost power for 40 mins or more from my own experience. Btw, ceramic rings work better when submersed. It may work ONLY when submersed
Yea, when you have regular ceramic media, it has to stay submerged. It dries out very quickly when not in contact with water. I recently switched to marine pure ceramic media because it holds water a lot better than regular ceramic media.
I do mean it is submerged when water is flowing, but i meant its not submerged when the power stops. but thank you for the info, ill will try to look for other media
