I stil need to check that 100 watt heater setup out. Its still hard
to belive its gonna raise up the water temp in extreme cold weather
and a large volume of water......

It only keeps a hole open in the middle of it, and from the sounds of the
person on TFA, either her's died or it doesn't do extreme weather. I have
heard that a Laguna 200 watt is notorious for dying (they look very much
the same). Since it has a nice little hole at the top, I put an airstone
down it, so I have double coverage. The koi ponds get 1000 watts though.

I still can not get over a 100 watt heater though! ;-)

Do you remember Greg Bickal? He used to build these little floating houses
and inside would be two 25 watt light bulb. http://bickal.home.mchsi.com/

And if you haven't visited his website lately, he's done some more really
cool stuff. Lots of pictures, and the koi breeding is very
interesting, plus check out his koi house (I want one)! ~ jan
