[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2308973, member: 1242"] I've never seen anything with that much water in it freeze solid here in Oklahoma, but I have heard stories. Stock tanks will get a pretty heavy duty layer of ice on the top, though. I've seen ranchers (my grandpa and dad, specifically) have ice so thick on their tanks that they've had to use an ax to break it up. Just be sure to leave enough headspace in the tote to allow for expansion and it shouldn't create problem for you. You might wrap it in that black plastic wrap that folks wrap their plants in to insulate them in the winter. The sun shining on the wrap will trap and hold just enough heat to keep them above freezing -- unless we have another Ice Age come through. [/QUOTE]
