Hi all, i have an empty sumped juwel vision 180 so iv decided to turn it into a home for a either new fish in QT or a lionfish im undecided yet.
Anyway all i have at the min is a bare tank with heater and filter, i have been dosing ammonia to cycle the filter and was wondering does the water have to be heated or can the good bacteria survive at around 20 Celsius which is my room temp ? Also what sort of salinity ranges can they survive in? I ran out of salt after filling the tank its around 1.020 will this be okay for a few days?
Thanks
