Forgot to turn the filter on!

[BasilBear]

Hi everyone! yesterday I was doing a late night water change and I forgot to turn the filter back on in my axolotls tank. I just turned it on and I will check the levels in about an hour or so, but do you guys think it will be okay? I believe it was only off for 10ish hours. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!

i've run into a similar issue with little to no consequences. part of the disadvantage with sponge filters is that the tubing will occasionally disconnect from either the pump or the filter itself, and therefore stop functioning. definitely annoying and somewhat nerve wracking, but overall things were fine
