Ok, I had a leak on my sump tank... had to tear it down and in the process my plumbing developed a leak and I was not able to start up the new sump.... just didnt have the parts etc. to repair today / and I will be away all day tomorrow..... Will my coral and a couple of fish in a 90G with live rock and sand bed be ok for a couple of days with just the circulation pumps going... tank has been running for 3 years and has a very small bio load..

Thanks in advance

Your fine just put the heater in the tank not the sump

+1 I ran my 275 gallon tank sumpless for 5 weeks once. The algae got a bit out of hand due to all the nutrient export equipment being offline and me not doing a single water change, but otherwise things came through fine.

Agreed. As long as you move the heater you'll be all good. If its going to be longer than a few days, I'd feed a little less frequently too.
