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

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