Yea Nick something like that. Now thier woldnt be just one tube under though you want to have a couple so you can make sure you get all the detritus. Just one output pipe though.

NIkki a cycle is what we call the establishment of various forms of bacteria. In this case the bacteria in the areobic zone I dont believe will be affected, the nitrification end of the cycle is still live. In the anaerobic zone we will be giving that bacterial population a hit. but thier still should be a decent population left. Basically the ones that are attached to the various surfaces. However they will be converted to deriving thier respiration from oxygen instead of nitrate for a bit. The "Bit" will be however long it takes for the plenum space to go devoid of oxygen. Shouldnt be to long???
