Live rock question

[miyags]

I keep a 40 gallon full of live rock..Due to rising cost of electric, I'm going to unplug the heater, and let the small HOB filter run..Do you all think the live rock survive in around 62 degree water? Was going to use it in a 150 gallon tank, down the road.

Short answer ,yes it will be fine.

There are different bacteria that flourish at different temps you'll get die off of some and more growth of others but overall I'd say you'll be ok. You may have a small cycle once you add heat again.

They’re bacteria. You ain’t killing them.
