I keep 3 out of 4 kreb tanks with no heaters, they sit around the high 50s - low 60s. Anyway, the wild populations in Germany have survived the winters there, I don't think RI is going to be all that much colder (plus, even though it's a garage, it's keeping the wind, snow, ice, etc off them... it'll be a bit warmer than the outdoors, too).
