Interesting tip about the nightlight to keep the pump from freezing.

Actually the freezing occured in the tubing between the
pump and the stone. At least that is what happened during
the first winter with our pond. The nightlight somewhat of
dries out the air around the pump so that not much moisture
gets into the tubing. It works here in Colorado, which
generally has very low humidity in the winter.
