I highly do NOT suggest turning filter off for long amounts of time. It can allow ammonia to build up quickly, it will throw beneficiary bacteria out of whack, and worse of all it could cause stress to fish if current is not constant. (That is if there are no other forms of current ex. air bubbles) sorry if that sounds aggresive im just trying to help
