I've done it

I do not think that anyone knows for sure.

I have had temporary issues where the water got colder than that but, never for a period longer than 24 hours.

I think that the rays will be fine. Their growth and metabolism will slow down but, they will be fine. I am sure that there are systems in the amazon that get much cooler at certain times of the year than the 80+ degrees we keep them at regularly.

As a matter of fact, I will be shocked if they do not do well for you.

agree....

This morning the water was at 18ºC/64ºF . It’s dangerously low. Now I’m a little bit worried because I’m going there only tomorrow afternoon and it’s when I’m going to put the heaters on. I hope that nothing happens until tomorrow.

i had one that the pond gotten down to 58-60f for 2 days... the ray lived but it was sketchy.... hope all goes well alberto...

I set them to 22ºC.

But the next day, and until today, the sun as apeared and the heaters weren't neaded. But i left them on beacuse it's very cold and we never know.
