I was wondering if anyone knew of an Aquaponics & food-safe deicer they could recommend. I've seen a few mentions of this one.
I have my air running so the fish are fine but these 25 deg (F) / -4 (C) nights freeze up the system (usually at the SLO outlet even with 3" / 76mm pipe).

I usually turn my outdoor systems off (unless I forget) to stop the piping and beds from freezing up

Yeah, that's what I've been doing too. I just end up having to leave the pump off for days at a time waiting for it to unfreeze enough to start it back up.
