While I was doing some routine cleaning and trimming, my filter just kind of...stopped. I tried everything, from taking it apart and putting it back together, switching plugs, and filling up the tank all the way, but nothing it working. I ordered an Aquaclear 10-30 gal, and it's coming tomorrow. Will my fish be fine till then?

If you have airstones that will help keep things at least a bit circulated.

You should be fine. A day or two without filtration shouldn't do too much damage. I'm guilty of forgetting to turn on the filter after feeding for a day at times and I've never had any ammonia or nitrite spikes because of it.

On top of what everyone suggested, I'd recommend dropping your biomedia next to the airstones to let a bit of circulation through the biomedia.
