Here is a video of my balcony koi tank especially for those people who live in boxes in the sky but enjoy the hobby.

And here's a video of the interior of my simple filter set-up.

Hi San, your set up looks really nice but I'm wondering if it will be able to support all those Koi when they get super large. Maybe you don't intend on keeping them all.......I don't know or maybe you will clean it every day? :regular_waving_emot

Welcome to the forum.
Your pond is one of the cleanest constructions I have ever seen. Filtration is excellant, however you will need to either expand or find homes for a few of those beauties in time.

Hi everyone,

Currently have 16 koi in there, and it's been around 7+ months since the tank has been up and running. In that time, they've not grown more than a couple of cm, which means so far the bonsai experiment is working. However, their waste is a bit too much for the filter to handle and I am in the process of putting a few up for adoption. Will probably have to keep no more than 10-12 little ones in there (average size 5-7 inches). Filters are cleaned once a week and 50% water change is done once every 2 weeks. Thanks for watching and glad you all liked the set-up!
:LOL:
