Heater, live rock & live sand - Do i need to heat new tank while cycling

F

feasible

[My live rock came in today for my new 55 gallon tank that I set up this week. However, the heater that was supposed to come with the order did not come in today because of a "mis-communication" ! :cussing:

The question I have is:
Will my live rock and sand be OK until my heater comes in on Monday or Tuesday? We are having freezing temperatures this weekend and when that happens, the water temp in the tank gets to 70F because the room is a little drafty. I is my intent to try to keep the rock alive during the cycle peaks with water changes but the heat part I am unsure about

& if it is not ok, does anybody have a heater (200W) I can borrow until I get mine?

Thanks!]

[I think at 70deg the live rock should be okay. It would be nice to keep it at ideal temps though. I have one you could borrow but I'm located in coppell which would be a far drive for you.]
 
[It is fairly late, but if you get this before 11:00pm, I have a few extra heaters you can borrow for a few days if that will help. I'll pm contact info.
