Re: [APD] Aquariums Chiller

["S. Hieber" <shieber at yahoo_com>]

I can't do the calcs but I will offer a comment:

Is the pond in set into the ground? If so, and the ground
is not keeping the water relatively close to the ground
temp, then it might take an awfully big chiller. The ground
can sink an large amount of heat. 

You might consider, instead of a chiller, having the pond
(or a large part of it) be a foot or so deeper. Somewhere
after the first 6"-12", I think, the ground temp will be
relatively stable year-round and with good water
circulation, should be able to sink much of the heat coming
from the pond surface. I don't know at what depth the
ground temp becomes stable where you live but you should be
able to find that out with a little research.
