I'm putting together a 250+ gallon pond and I need some advice on heating it. Preferably something cost effective and low profile. Any tips? Thanks in advance.
Heating 250+ gallons..?

The 500W or the 1000W Jehmco Titanium heater w/ controller should do it: http://www.jehmco.com/html/heaters.html
Or you could get two or three 300 watt Eheim Jagers and plug them into the ETCI-1R controller.
But since the pond is indoors, I wouldn't think the water would get below 50F. Aren't alligator gars ok down to that temp?

A couple of 300W Jagers should easily do the job, and even better if you wish to run them on a controller. As for cost-effective, its simple physics that it wil take X watts of electricity to heat 250g of water from Y degrees to your desired temp, regardless of the kind of heater you use. If you want efficiency then make sure your tank (and the room it is in) is well insulated.
