If you have an extra heater, throw that in the tub to regulate temp. If you don't, I would recommend purchasing one. I have 2 extra for water changes, and for backup if my main heater dies.

what i did was took a large tubberware container, drilled lots of holes in it, washed it out good, then i put the clarkii and pseudo in it they are floating in the big tank, wiht filters and a heater and powerhead and all that mumbo jumbo. i did see my lemon damsel in a corner he looked pretty good, so im not too worried, maybe a little about my shrooms and feather duster that are only in there to add the ammount or LR in
