cover the tub and the 1000watt should do fine. It was 50o 2 days ago and then we
got 4" of snow and the temp is now 7o. my 1600 gallon pond has a plastic covered
lean to over it and a 500 watt heater. The water temp was 56o today, they were up
sucking like crazy so I fed em again. the lilies are still green in there. I will
see if the temp drops by tomorrow. Ingrid

heater can make a 30 gallon tub, but that night, in the teens, dropped it
to the point of the fish having ich soon after.
