lol. How much will heater cost for my pond? This thing costs 200 dollars, if I want something that can keep my pond warm how much would I be paying? Do you know any where online that sell them? I need it to be delivered to Australia.

why do u need to heat in Australia? i mean its basically a desert.

anyway, i would look into Solar Power heaters.

For aquariums a general rule is 2-4 watts per gallon, so your looking at 16,000-32,000 watts. Because of that I would look into alternate methods of heating it. Ambient temperature is also a factor to consider.

most likely you will need o use a natural gas swimming pool heater! I personally would use an entire swimming pool setup for an 8000 gallon pond! A large sand filter a large pump ad a natural gas heater attached!

my pond will actually be a 2800 gallon one.
