From what I understand, and it is limited, you like to keep the water
moving, but if you keep it moist you should be able to get 2 or 3 days
out of it. I use a Fluidezed bed filter (LOVE IT!) and it went down for
a few days. Came back, started it back up, and the nitrite dropped
immediately (meaning the Bio Mass was still active).

Hope this helps
