Well, can ya? if so.. what is it... degree F or C doesn't matter, I have the power to convert!
 
It's to my knowledge that beneficial bacterias require enormous amount of oxygen to convert waste compounds into the less toxic nitrate, which means the supply of oxygen must be readily available.

It's a property of water, in which it's unable to hold oxygen as temperature rises.

Also, boiling water ([SIZE=-1]100°C[/SIZE]) will usually do the job of killing off most bacterias and other micro organisms.
