Gonna redo my tank but mmy filter never is turned of for longer then an hour.
now it will be 2,5 at the least.
Is there anything i can do?

can you leave the filter running while there is sufficient water?
do you have air stones etc? that you can keep running instead just to airate the water?

my filters have been off for a few hours once in a storm. and one of my O's jumped out of the tank... although the other was breathing heavily it is still alive today...

i wouldnt recommend shutting off the filter for 5 hrs... maybe 2 though.
i would keep an airstone or something going if it was me

pond airator never stops, but can only run filte when tank is full, overflowsyt

might try putting water out of the tank and pouring it in my biofilter!
