I have never used a heater in my 100 gallon but if I did I'd God to one of the farm supply stores and get one of those water trough heaters. Little expensive but probably best bang for the buck in the long run.
Have a 50 gallon tank. What kind of heater should I consider for Central Texas. This week it was down to 23 but is warming up again. Thanks.

I put one in my tank but it wasn't enough, my tank is not in an enclosed place tho. Lost about 6 pounds, got to clean out and start over when it thaws.

I dug a hole in the ground and buried a 55 gallon garbage can, ice is on the top except a small area where the pump is squirting water out of the tubing. I checked yesterday and the water temperature about halfway down was 31.8; our lows have been in single digits and highs in the teens and twenties this week. I only have a few minnows in there that were leftover from my last trip.

i went to Al few yrs back took my minnows put a lot of ice with them when I got to ramp I looked and all was on bottom in a circle piled up in a pile the size of a small circle about 8 dozen I thought sand I have done it now, only one option was left , pour out cold water refill with lake water and fish with dead minnow. So this I did when I got to my spot and open the engel cooler to get me some dead minnow every one of them was alive and swimming. I had some frogs to the bottom side of the ice at the top of my cooler the other day and when I poked him to get him off and out it swam off . There tough in cold water but not hot.
D Morrow thanked you for this post
I haven't thrown them out, the heater was turned down so I turned it up some and hoping it will thaw. Gonna give them a chance.
