it runs on gas like methane or propane

not gasoline

besides we arent short on that kind of gas

all fossil fuels are suppose to go up not just gasoline

Natural gas has already increased 32% here (over last year)
any petrolium based product will probably jump a lot if it hasnt already

Why couldnt you just use a swimming pool heater? Could someone make that work?

1000 Watt Spa Heater = $300.

Same type heater as above made from a travel trailer water heater and a 32 g storage tub, everything new, around $300, salvaged from a junker, ???.

methane and propane, can be man made

in L.A at the end of their waste treatment proccess they collect the methane gas from the waste in canisters and send it to a powerplant which right next to the facilities, the gas provides electricity and natural gas for water heaters and stoves.

also in some places some garbage dumps are harnessing the gas that builds up in the landfills to collect and ship to powerplants and energy companys.

and these kind of gases are not fossil fuel.

well more than likely this "heater " is going to run off of your house's gas line
point being this winter, the price of natural gas is going to go up.
even so.... this past weekend i went to fill up a 5 gallon propane tank and it cost
me 18.00 dollars!

WOW!!!

so uh what kind of gas does a stove run on??

cant be propane cause it smells like ****

r u serious! it's probably natural gas
i seriously do not think it's propane unless you live in a rural area?

[boredcpl]

my stove and heater is natural gas..

[boredcpl]

they can both be converted to propane

Another interesting source for heating an outside not to large pond, are the heaters from "Clepco"

these guys have special heaters for aquculture, stainless steel and with lots or watts (of course elecricity is an issue, but you can't have it all)

I used 2 500 watt titanium heaters in a 1000 gallon $39.99 each. Held temp at 78 degree F no problem with ambient temp of 40 degree F

[rhinoman]

That's a very expensive heater. Check out this site.http://www.koifishponds.com/propane.htm
Where we're going to build we won't have natural gas so I figure we'll have to use a propane heater. Cheaper than electricity anyway. Also when the power goes out propane doesn't fail you.

People are bi*ching about heating their houses and we are finding ways to heat ponds. Guess we are all republicans here. LOL

A thought just came to mind as I cleaned up the dog puke off the rug. See my mothers on vacation this week and we're taking care of the dogs. They have two ****-Szu's. Anyway how much do dogs cost to maintain? I mean the energy cost to heat a pond over a year is certainly comparable to keeping a dog. Dogs need yearly check-ups and they need to be fed and lets face it dogs wear things out (so do the kids). Dogs become especially costly when they're older. My mothers dog has cost them over $1200 this month! How many people do you know that have multiple dogs!? Vets don't give discounts when you bring in three dogs that's for sure. I love dogs I'm just saying our hobby isn's especially costly.
