No, not even close. Accumulation of ice only prevents your animals from drinking water, not insulates it. Basic chemistry: water freezes into ice, therefore ice does not act as an "insulator" to water, it just acts as a point where more water can freeze and turn to ice. In order to prevent the water from freezing, you need to put a heating element somewhere under the tank so that it prevents the water from freezing. Insulation can only do so much, because in cold winter temperatures without any source of heat to keep the water from freezing into ice, you will get ice.
