    Default Temperature Question

    Over the course of the day I have steadily lowered the temperature in my tank from 78 to 76 in order to make things more cozy for my galaxy rasboras; they share the tank with cardinals, dwarf corys and endlers.

    My question is will I loose any nitrifying bacteria from the dip in temperature? I really should have asked before I dropped the temp, I know... Should I raise the temp back up or will things be alright?

    Thanks guys!

    A gradual two degree temperature drop isn't going to hurt fish or bacteria or anything else.
