If you have a bbq or better yet, a bbq with a side burner, use the side burner to heat water to heat up tank water or fw that you then pour into sealed containers to float in your tank.
Have a battery operated air pump & airstones for added circulation.
Throw thermal blankets over the tank to retain as much heat as possible.
PRAY hard! and keep a close eye on things.
Hope this helps.
I know it sounds like a lot but we have so much tied into our tanks that I think its worth the extra effort.

Yeah these are really good ideas Anthony! I think I will head out this weekend to CT and get a few of those. Are they around $200 if I remember correct?
