Everything except tank mate was taken inside my house during that freeze up time. I've just put everything back and everything work ok thank god.
If I were you I would leave a fan heater on in there for a few hours mate.

Heat them up it should be OK, an hour or 2 beside the radiator should do it.

I have lost a couple to frost (the water expands and cracks the bottle) never lost any to de-frosting.
