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.

ok, didnt realise it was that big,  can u get the lid off,  if so do that  and suck out any water you can,    pour boiling water in  and leave,   put next to rad and just wait,   if you cant get lid off put next to rad
