That works well for me.  Especially if I  was doing the longfin whiteclouds.
They will tolerate the cool weather.  Not too well in the warm. Also did
that indoors 4 he brackishwater greenwater while infested with rotifers and
Pseudomugil cyanodorsalis and P. signifer...  But the Rotifers will often do
a number on the green water so fast it will make your head spin.  In a heavy
infestation it could clear a 100 gallon tank overnight.
