Fish stores open at 12:00 till then my 75 gallon is unfiltered is that ok? It will be unfiltered for about 4 hrs total. I have a tiny air stone or I can move some bosemani's out of QT and into this tank and throw their AquaClear50 on it.
Eheim out of commission.

That isn't a lot of time and your stock should be okay.
Run the air stone if you are super worried about them. If the rainbows aren't ready to be released from QT I wouldn't add them to the tank

Nothing to worry about ... Unless you are EXTREMELY, GROSSLY, NEGLIGENTLY overstock, there's should be enough O2 in there for hours. An airstone and running a spoon along the surface will create enough agitation for additional gas exchange.
No I don't think I am overstocked. I think I am the opposite 10 Flames, 10 Red Eye, 4 Fals Julii and 7 Peppered. It is cleaning time but I wasn't sure about changing it w/out being able to turn the filter on soon after. I will definintely change when filters are repaired replaced. Thank god I have a Eheim 2217 lying around LOL just not tubes. The 2073 needs replacement parts. Bah!
Thanks All!
Thanks All!

I'd say your tank has a relatively low bio-load so your fine. Are you looking to buy a replacement filter ... in which case the media just transfers over ... or get a new model?
In that case you may be able to transfer some of the media from your old filter.

Four hours will not be a problem. I just went three and a half days without power and fish survived. I gave all filters a thorough cleaning with my weekly 50% PWC yesterday. Good luck fixing the filter, I'm running an Eheim 2217 and haven't had any problems with it.
Ah if I had known then what I know now 
getting tubing at home depot to try it out.
This tank came off of CL with an Eheim Pro 3 (2073) and it was leaking but when we were working on it the Adapter Valve broke so I have to order one.
I have a 2217 for some corner bow front tanks I bought but haven't set up yet so it can be backup until the other canister is fixed.
