I have a tank that has fully cycled but currently has no fish.
The fish should have arrived but for one reason or another they haven't.
I need to do a big water change to get rid of the nitrates that have built up while I have been keeping it ticking over since the cycling was complete.
Will the bacteria be alright if I add water straight from the tap (after conditioning) with respect to temperature?
The current temp. of my cold water supply is around 8 celsius.
Will this temp. damage the bacteria until the heater gets things back up to temp.?
