I am fixing a small leak in my sump with some silicone thus, my sump nearly entirely drained (except 1 inch) and no pumps running.
I turned off my lamp as well so the water doesnt get too hot. Have no corals so no light ok temporarily. Its still warm in my apartment because of summer so I could still run a pump for my chiller directly out of the tank instead of sump - but not entirely neccisary since its just 24 hours.
Most importantly I have a external air pump with 2 tubes blowing some bubbles into the water to give air. Is this sufficient?
Silicone will dry in 24 hours, and will double check for leaks. May need another 24 hours if I need to re apply.
Any advice on anything else I need to do besides blowing in some air and keeping my light off?
