    May want to "burp" those dursos and see if air is restricting water flow. You'll be just fine as long as your powerheads are going.

    my brother's 150 gallon reef went for a couple of months on internal circulation only and monthly water changes with no harm to anything.

    The power was off on my 135 gallon reef for about 12 hours with absolutely no water movement and suffered no ill effects.

    you should have more than enough time to address your plumbing problem.

    +1 on the powerheads, also poke gently in the pipe to see if anything is stuck in the pipes. also like mentioned burp the system. too much air no water flow, also if you have holes in the sides of the pipe for helping to restart the system make sure they are not clogged.

    You probably already did this, but be sure to check/clean any air valves attached to the durso. Mine used to get clogged all the time and restricted excess air from leaving the top. I finally just removed it. Let us know how it turns out.

    As stated before check for obstructions in the overflows such as snails, algae, dead fish, etc. Point one or two of your powerheads to the surface to where it's breaking the surface tension.
