Your filters should be running all of the time. Leaving filters off for an extended period of time runs the risk of: harming your bacterial colony, causing fluctuating chemical levels since fish produce ammonia wastes all of the time, and most filters aid gas exchange (keeping oxygen levels up) which is important for the health of your fish.

Agree. Filters are designed to be running all the time.
