The Pond Is 6' Round And Cones Down To The Center Where It Is 2.5' Deep
.. I Also Have Fish To Big To Bring In .. I Purchased Two Cattle
De-icers, Submerg And Floater, Will This Be Enough To Keep My Fish Warm
At Approx. 4 Deg. C.


Type of fish?

De-icers won't keep them warm, but will keep a much needed hole in the ice,
if ice forms (usually this doesn't happen till 0*C ;-). Koi or goldfish
will be fine. ~ jan
