I've left the filter turned off for a week after a water change once, I didn't discover until I went to turn it off the next weekly change, there was no problem in that tank.
If at first you don't succeed....
...get someone else to do it!
Enjoy your fish, shrimps and snails!

I had 3.5 hours without power just a couple of weeks ago due to problems with my prepay meter on moving house. Didn’t even consider that a problem as I’ve had 10+ hours without power before now with no problem. Only time I had deaths was a nano tank where the extension cable developed a fault and tank was about 48 hours without filtration.
I have some cheap battery powered air pumps for if things get towards double digit hours again, but otherwise I just do lighter feeding for a few days and an extra water change with a cap of Stability if I remember.
