Need help

I am planning on making my aquaclear filter a refugium and I have a ?. Well I have to use a sealant on the aquaclear which says "Sealant cures & bonds in 24 hrs." Now that means I won't have a filter on my tank for 24hrs but the problem there is will my fish have enough oxygen?

Do you not have any other water movement in the tank?

They'll be fine, then. Maybe aim the PH up at the surface a little to agitate it. As long as there is movement in there, oxygen will be present.
