They will never survive under such period.
Better to shift tank out temperory since it just a 1ft tank or else more problem heartache later ...............

I would remove tank to some power source or use a back up generator.

How are your office fish?
I have platys in a small tank, no air pump no filter only with money plants inside. more than 3 months all good. So 24 hours should be fine.
