Wanting to so the same up here and I am further north than you.
Finding information seems scarce.
An insulated building I think would need to be a must, and a large pond so that changes in temperature are not as drastic.
Solar water heating is a cheap solution, along with a wood boiler if you are located in a rural area.
I would insulate to a high degree due to your and my location, though fear of cooking the fish in a unlikely heat wave.
A couple days in 35C weather would not be good.

I think to make it a reasonable cost, it would have to be in an insulated shed-building.
Could heat via wood boiler if your rural or solar panels - cheap.
Ideally it would be quite large to avoid fluctuations, and would want some way of chilling in thr case of a heat spell. Maybe mass water change or ground loop heat exchange.
