A neat idea I came across in "The Horsemans Scrapbook" for keeping 
water tanks from freezing......

Dig a hole, smaller than the bottom circumference of the tank.  Make it 
deep enough to be below the frost-line in your region. Put the trough 
on top, and let Nature do the rest!

If you live in an area where it rains enough to make the ground really 
soggy, line the hole with bricks, rocks, RR ties, whatever, and put the 
trough over it.  It won't matter if the hole fills up with water..... 
if the hole is deep enough, the water shouldn't freeze anyway.

I thought this was a great idea! And the book, compiled by Randy 
Steffan is FULL of cool, practical ideas for horse people.  You can 
usually find it at tack stores, or you can order it online.  Try
