Heatlamp for 5er basement water tank?

[GSP]

My Water tank is in the storage area "basement" in the front where the landing gear frame is on my Aljo

What are the thoughts of putting a heat lamp in this large storage area too keep the water from freezeing.

Has anyone tryed a Heat lamp?

Heat lamp could be a fire hazard.

Why not one of those electric heaters with an "anti-freeze" temp setting on it's thermostat (resistance heater with fan)?

I agree that a heat lamp is a hazard. Try a standard 60W bulb, in a clamp-on fixture so it's suspended in the air to get good circulation around the bulb. You'd be surprised how much heat a 60W bulb can make in an enclosed cabinet.
