Does temperature matter when cultivating Phytoplankton and Rotifers?

[Mr Cob]

I’m currently attempting to grow Phytoplankton. I setup two batches last night using cleaned 2liter coke bottles. To start the stock I used one of the bottles I bought from Daniel of Precision Aquaculture Technologies and followed the steps noted on Melve’s Reef.

My question is does anyone know if this can be done in the garage? I currently have them under my tank in my stand but I’m curious if temperature maters??? If it doesn’t I could setup a larger lab in the garage.

I’ll be trying rotifers too and have the same question for them.

Thanks.

Here's a thread I started with my try at this (with pics):
