How long can a 10 inch RTC, 5 inch paroon, and 2 12 inch clown knifes live without a filter... I cracked my Aqa clear 110 and now i have no filter until tommorow.. Can they survive without a filter for 15 hrs??

Yea i had 2 running but my motor was messed up on one because it got clogged, if i krazy glue the crack will it stop the leak or will it stop it momentarily??
It couldnt hurt just monitor the crack every half hour or so use a flashlight if needed. I check all my plumbing connections on all my tanks every dayfcamargo6thave;3331804; said:
OCD runs in my family but the reality of some of the tanks gallons being on the floor of my house is kind of a significant important worry. What size tank are all these fish in??? I say submerge your bio media right away if you didnt thought it would already be dead.....
Just do water changes till you can replace. I always run sponge filters in case as well as have filters on standby just in case.
You've gotten some good advice so far
As mentioned, the size of the tank will determine A) if they have enough oxygen to last or B) if the waste will be diluted enough...
I would highly suggest doing something to stir the tank and/or aerate the water... airstones, powerheads or at the very least stir it up with your arm...
When in doubt, do a water change! There are a few times when this isn't a good idea, but very few... In your case I think it would be a great idea.
Hearing that fish list relying on one, or even two, AC 110s leads me to ponder a lot of other questions about the set up... but since you didn't ask questions I won't either
