One of my Fluvals was due for a rinse out last night after a water change. But of course, the cover to the impeller shaft was old and one of the snaps broke. (stupid plastic parts) 
Anyways.
I couldnt run my filter since last night at 6 pm. I have to wait until 10 am to get the replacement at the LFS.
(i have 2 other canisters filtering the tank, so they have filtration)
My question is :
Will all the bacteria in that filter be dead by the time i get the replacement part?
It will have been like 16 hours.
If the bacteria IS dead, what should i do?
-Should I put in new media?
-Should I just keep the old media in there and rinse it really good in tap water first to get out any extra dead bacteria?
OR, Will there still be plenty of live bacteria left? And I should just replace the cover, and turn it on like normal?
