So I got the 53 LRA R22 10,000 BTU compress on.
Went ahead a made a larger condenser for the fish tank. I added another 20 feet of 1/4" painted black nontoxic copper tubing.
And I filled it with straight R290
Here are the numbers, first is the temp of the incoming and outgoing lines in the fish tank.
Next is the pressures and the suction temp (low number) and the line temp right before the txv.
So as you can see pretty low superheat and higher subcooling. Which means I'm slightly over charged, but I'm only pulling 775 watts. I only used .6 kwh last night compared 2.5-3.5 kwh with the same temps. My pond temp is about 45F.
Here is the data from the pond, some days got down to 15F.

So I'm happy with it for now, been crazy crazy busy this week with work and stuff. My main concern is the pond getting too cold...... I know the fish have to stay alive, so there must be some warm water in that pond somewhere. Maybe I'm not at the warmest spot? I thought the deepest would be the warmest, but the pond is slopped and the deepest point is right at the levee??? I'll be taking more readings in different places.
