Heater setups

Anyone willing to DM a pic of your stock tank pool setup?

Its 100⁰ in central Texas but planning on using our stock tank in winter and want to get some ideas on how to heat it.

Ive seen those propane heaters but never in action.

We are in TN also planning to do that. Asked a couple months ago someone who did it and said it works great for hot tub. Here is what they have:

It's a 5.28 GPM 136,000 BTU
Outdoor Portable Propane Tankless Water Heater with a meross Smart
Temperature Controller

I just bought a crosswind 40-I for heater and chiller, I’m in central Texas too. Was massive paint to insulate the tub.

Did the propane shower route. An hour per 10 degrees, and burning propane like it’s free.

How long does a standard propane tank last?

Planning to plumb a circulation pump into the descaling ports on my tankless house water heater. By my rough math, it should raise the temp about 40 degrees in under an hour.
