Start of journey...

since I stopped fish keeping... there have been many advancements in systems and technology.... for my purposes.. I wanted to invest in a setup with min. maintenance given the reasons why I stopped in the first place...

I have to travel for work regularly, sometimes for weeks and I would not be able to cope with a regular filtration setup....

Also, I wanted to keep Koi since it has been my dream since teens....
I recall drooling over the fantastic ponds I see online... and always hoped 1 day I can have a koi pond of my own....

given constraints living in SG, landed property is out of the question.... so best I could do was to invest in a property with a balcony....

I finally found 1, although with a drawback... the balcony I have is open to sky... developer did not allow for buildable area to construct a shelter....

So... step 1 decision....
Balcony meant in ground pond is out.
Next best option would be either FGT or Glass tank
Considering balcony is open to sky, I decided to go with FGT.
but I had to solve the problem of providing some shade for the Koi.
I will not have the luxury of getting a deep FGT given load constraints etc.
