I sure hope so. Our clear skies might make it colder at night is my only other concern. It's worth a try. Thanks for the encouraging news. This is all turning out much better than I thought.
Also I just ordered one of those $120 pools. Tried to find a smaller pump but I got another 300 watt 3000 GPH pump. This time used for 40 bucks including shipping. The only other decent pump I could find was a 38 watt 350 gph pump for 28 dollars. I may try to order two of those to run the 12 foot pool but I thought I'd start out with too much pump and use the bypass for aeration till it gets cold and the fish slow down. Then switch to a smaller pumping system.
