wet/dry into refugim

i pretty much know how im going to do this, as long as i can make my skimmer fit in there. i am planning on using silicone but i know it should set for 24hours.
so the real question is, how long could i leave the filter off of the tank? should i add extra powerheads in the tanks to make sure everthing keeps going? or is there a quick dry epoxy that would work to hold up the baffles. any thoughts or ideas would help out, thanks folks.

Why use silicone? use weld_on 4 and you will be up and running within an hour...

BTW, I'd like to see this, I have one I was thinking about turning into a fuge also...

i decided to forget converting my wet/dry and just get a new 15g high to make in sump/fuge.
