Temp to low in tank?

[shelly]

Hey

Set up my new tank last night and this morning the temp was 10 degrees c. is it worth getting a heater guard and putting a heater in there to bring the temp up to about 18?

No, 10 degrees is fine, they should still eat at that temp. They prefer the cooler temperatures. It's when it gets down to 4 degrees or less.
