oh and by the way i live in amarillo texas to give an idea of the temp around here remember the month is may right now
Add a higher wattage heater and good to have multiply heaters. Could try covering once sun goes down to retain heat
I would get a few 300 watt heaters and set the thermostat where you want it to be and you should be good.
If you really want to heat this pond add a few quality heaters and pay the price at that elevation, it may be a chore; you may want to consider more temperate species
If you under stock your heaters, you may notice they will fail prematurely and without back up; will have drops in temp.
