It really is amazing the heat one 60 watt bulb produces in an enclosed area.

For those building a pond or planning one where lose of power and freezing temperatures is a way of life, It helps to have a way to drain your filters and lines until you can get power returned. I think eventually all of us plan for a generator to help out on those occassions. I know the next pond I build for myself will have an automatic one that once the power goes off a sensor automatically kicks in...that way I won't have to stress if I'm away and not able to be home immediately to deal with the emergency. I know they cost money so always open to suggestions by our readers as to what to do in the interim from starting our response as beginners to having already developed a plan as "olde timers"....
