-11.2 now temp is dropping fast

worried about the filters found ice in the kk so stuck a few extra layers on it, the tetrapond pressure filter is still flowing and hopefully not freezing (i dont want to open it incase i break one of the clips with them being so cold),even with the pipes wrapped in bubble wrap im worried about them so hopefully i can keep things flowing my thinking being if its flowing it aint freezing me and dave are checking them everyday
we check the fish too the koi seem ok huddled at the bottom around the pump and i cant see the goldies as the pond hasnt cleared and is still murky from when the uv popped i was going to empty some water this weekend to try and clear it but i dont think this is a good idea at the moment

my outside ones are really freezing up, I have had to turn the pump off on the babies as it is freezing and leaking! the only gap in the ice is over the air stone, I hope the water holds out until the thaw otherwise they will have to take their chances with the bigger fish!

the other pond with the shower on is freezing around the edges but that's all.
