    Default Re: Pump operation during freezing conditions

    I won't go as far to say that it would never freeze because if it gets cold enough, it will still freeze but that would require much lower temperatures (e.g. < 0F).

    A 60 watt (incandescent) should provide more than enough heat.

    If interested in the physics of freezing, you can read this thread.

    As for the other questions:
