Very close to what I do. Mine are in cat litter buckets (white, lets a lot of light in) under my tank, and I have a white plastic mesh screen on top to keep things from falling in. I keep my salinity a little lower, at 1.016, and that's it. The tank's in my living room, so it's constantly around 67-78 degrees. You should be fine. VERY important to harvest your rotis every day, even if you have to toss them, or they will think they're overcrowded and the colony will go dormant. Also, you should keep 2 buckets going at the same time, in case one crashes. If one does, you can start another 'safety' bucket from the good one that's still running.
