What happens if it freezes solid? Do the fish freeze too? I hope that doesn't sound too stupid, but it just crossed my mind.

Hi Darcy,lol...no the fish are ok as they go to the bottom which is below ground level,its just they produce nitrates as a by-product which strips out the oxygen in the water under ice and would harm them...hence the floating balls...which doesn't impress the dogs I nicked them from :)
