I'm fixing a joint thats got a drip, and the return pump is gonna be shut down for 12-18 hours. Do I need to adjust a powerhead toward the surface to get aeration, or will the 40x turnover do the job(its a pain in the rear to move powerheads the way I hid them)

Will probably be fine to just let the PHs do their thing as they are. Especially if the shutdown will be mostly at night. Much lower O2 demand at night.

Good luck with the repair.

as long as there is water movement in the tank then u will be fine. no need to move any powerheads. my return was off for a day in my 90g and it was fine.
