As the pond stretches across my entire front window, i can only snap half of it from where i stood. This pond has no filter, just water plants.




My favourite sanke... look how white it is! And the 2 cute little showas...


Group shot... they are between 10-20cm in size, really inexpensive koi.


Last shot... apart from the big sanke, the rest are all below $30 each...

Hi Terrence, nice setup you have.

I am very tempted to convert my 7x1.5x3ft planter box into something like yours.

however, the complicated thing is that there is a pipe which collect water from my balcony roof into the drainage inside the planter box.

any idea how to over this?

Hey thanks! Go for it! All u need to do is make a partition to block off the drainage section so that the roof water dun mix with yr pond water. Also include a drainage valve on that partition to drain water from yr pond.

Alternatively you can customise a FGT to fit into tr planter box, that way u can even incorporate a filter section as well. Even better. Should cost u a couple of hundreds only.

Go for it bro!
