WAY WAY WAY too much heater maximum capacity. 5,000 would do fine. The issue is air circulation and keeping exposed liquid tanks from freezing. If the tanks are exposed you are basically screwed unless you find a way to keep them from freezing. This is why newer rigs have basements and enclosed tanks.
