Hi guys, any tips would be good, I have a 1000 ltr thin plastic storage tank for water outside on concrete, best way to try and delay the freezing, i was thinking wrapping plastic sheeting around it, what do you reckon.

Has it frozen before? Mine hasn't though it's had a layer of ice form on top and we've had a few harsh Winters in the past few years.
Though I am in South Wales, not Scotland.

no first year like this,used to be in a shed

I insulate my tank with eco-friendly loft insulation. Wrap it in bin bags to stop it getting wet and wrap it tight around your tank. Not saying it won't freeze at all, but mine hasn't. I insulate my purification kit in the same way too.

put a fish tank heater in should stop freezing
-
Moving water is hard to freeze... Put a koi karp in there
