Is minus 19 degrees the right temperature to store ice cream in the freezer?

Hey guys, I LOVE ice cream but hate it when you open the lid and it’s full of ice crystals. Someone told me minus 19 degrees was the right temperature to freeze it at as mine was set at a lower temperature. Is this right?
1. Be sure your freezer temperature is set between -5°F and 0°F.
2. Store ice cream in the main part of the freezer. Never store ice cream in the freezer door, where ice cream can be subject to more fluctuating temperatures since the door is repeatedly open and shut.
3. Never allow ice cream to soften and re-freeze. As ice cream’s small ice crystals melt and re-freeze, they can eventually turn into large, unpalatable lumps.
4. Keep the ice cream container lid tightly closed when storing in the freezer, in fact what I always do is to put a covering of heavy duty plastic wrap or aluminum foil around the mouth of the container first and then put the lid over that to insure a tight seal.
5. Don’t store ice cream alongside uncovered foods; odors can penetrate ice cream and affect its flavor.

How to keep ice cream during electricity cuts in freezer?
I live in an area where power cut is main problem. I run a bakery shop and I bought a ice cream freezer, which can be charged. Actually, the freezer i have brought is the freezer used by the ice cream sellers on "radis" as how it is sold in the streets. Can any one tell how the freezer charging can last long. If there are longer electricity cuts, howe to save the ice cream from melting for longer time.
you help is appreciated.\
Get a backup generator with enough fuel to last until power comes back. Keep the freezer door closed. That might mean you can’t sell ice cream to your customers until the power returns. Or you could take an armful of ice cream out of the freezer and have a blackout sale - "I must sell all this ice cream now".
Solar is a good way to reduce the amount of power you draw from the utility, but it’s not steady enough to be a backup source.
Adding salt to ice reduces its freezing temperature and makes it melt faster. That’s a great way to chill something quickly (like when making ice cream) or melt ice from a road or sidewalk, but not so useful for maintaining cold temperature over time.
