My Cartier “Tank LC” runs 45 hours, if I fully wind it. That’s fairly typical, but there has been one upsmanship to see who can make the longest-running model. Patek Philippe’s “5100′ took the lead in 2000 by running 240 hours=10 days. In 2003, Patek added the $240,000 “5101″ tourbillon to its line. It also runs 10 days. Do these two models still hold the record for power reserve? Serious answers only, please!

I had to unplug the filter so I could move the tank now it won’t restart again. It’s not a simple matter of pouring the water into the back because I’ve tried that. It’s not the power source because the heather and light source both worked plugged into that same outlet. It’s like the motor has died by my unplugging it. I am taking it back to the petstore tommorrow for a replacement but until then I’d like to know how long can fish live without a filter?
I have a 20 gallon tank with approximately 15 guppies (a few large ones, but more middle sized ones), a few live plants, and some snails in it. If it matters any…prior to my unplugging the filter the ammonia was a bit high (not at a toxic level but just a bit high) and the pH was fine.
Thanks for any help!
If I had the time to go to WalMart I’d just stop at the petstore which is closer 
Without any filter of any kind how long can they live? Am I going to wake up tommorrow morning with dead fish lining the bottom of the tank?
And the petstore manager already said to just bring it in for a new one…that won’t be a problem.
It is dead. It does not need to be restarted by pouring water in it (tried, doesn’t do anything) and the intake is open and not plugged. No matter…it is being returned tommorrow for a new one. My question is will the fish live until tommorrow evening when I get the new filter?
Although I appreciate all the suggestions on the actual filter and fixing it that has nothing to do with my question. I don’t honestly care what the problem is with the filter…it isn’t working…there is nothing short of opening the actual motor box (which would void the warranty) that I can do to fix it. It is being returned. Now if anyone can actually answer my question (other than the one girl that did, THANKS! lol) that would be greatly appreciated.

this is a 40 gallpon tank, i am not sure how old it is.
I have a RX300 Lexus, and i just wanted to see if i can make the intake more efficient cus now the damn car takes 60 bucks just to fill up a tank and it’s gone in a week.
Also, later, I will purchase a new car, possibly a civic or small cars like that and how would i boost up the power and such to a car like that?
Because what i see when i lift up the front hood i see a plastic covered engine, wires and some water bottles I’d like to get more involved with cars and repairs. Thank you for answering my question.

Should I drain it? Since I cut off the water and power the leak seem to have slowed a bit. I looked at the relief valve on top, and it seems like it was not activated (the little "handle" thing is still laying flat, no water on the sides of HW tank). Any ideas?
