I also wondered the same thing at the beginning.... It's been there for at least 2 years, havnt seen any visible cracks or any signs of stress.

Any engineer can advise?

I have since moved the pot of lotus to the side to create more swimming space and added an improvised pandan filter.

And the two biggest koi are about 28cm. They are the only two from the original inhabitants that survived all the culling and narural attritrion.

My fav sanke in the middle

New tancho to replace shiro muji.

No lah, they are specially selected for me to enjoy from home, cant grow big one, that's why call mini koi... I'm actually experimenting to see how they adjust their growth according to the limitation of the environment.

Nice pond in the balcony, wouldnt the bio load from the kois, cause the water to turn green quickly?

Twice weekly water change and the pandan filter helps absorb the nitrates. I never had green water. Also we dun feed alot, just twice a day.
