how deep is your pond?
I bring in my tender plants. http://weloveteaching.com/mypond/VF/veggie_filter.html
here is the "tent" I put over my pond.

I drop in a 500 watt aquarium heater, keep the air blower going and the water temp is
at or above 50oF for 11/12 months. I feed fish every few days but less food. I keep
an eye on the ammonia. Ingrid

Iam planning to put a pond about 2000 gal next year. Iam planning on
doing all the work myself. My only questions is how to protect the
investment (plants, fishes) in the winter? Can I put plants and fishes
in stock tanks and keep them iside the garage with some flouracent
lights hanging above the tanks to provide light for the plants and fish
(comet, koy)? Probably I can setup some filters and air pumps too. Is
this good plan? Iam in the 5b zone and garage is not heated. Will it
cause any problem of algae growth in the water? or fungus affecting the
garage because of moisture from the taks?
