Aquarama 2007 - Overseas customers


This afternoon, our farm hosted a visit by many overseas customers from Italy, Japan and others. They were impressed with our facilities, the set-up of our farm and our effort in preventing KHV. One of them placed orders and also arranged for us to send him pictures of our coming harvest as he wanted bigger koi for his big pond back in Italy.

We would like to convey our thanks for their visit and look forward to see them again soon.

Koi Pond - Fabulous koi in completed pond

Finally a total of 33 koi ranging in sizes from 5 to 16 inches swimming in this nicely shaped pond. A new challenge has started, we have to monitor the pond carefully as the maturing process of the pond just started only few days ago.

Thank you Mr & Mrs Hoe for the opportunity given to us to promote koi keeping. The joy and excitement for you and your family members have just begun.


After slightly more than 5 weeks, the pond was eventually filled with water on 5 May to soak up and clear piping system of construction dirts and dust. The water pumps were switched on this morning. The pond maturing process to prepare the pond for koi will commence this Wednesday after the water is totally discharged off. Few more final touch-up works will be carried out over the next 3 days before official hand-over.

This is the overview of the pond after another week, with all concreting works completed.

What we are left with now are finishing works.


Picture on the left shows shallow pond where water will be flowing down to the koi pond (picture on the right).


Picture here shows filter chamber with 5 compartments. More works will be needed to build up the filter compartments where the various filter media will be placed. Right at the bottom are the catchment compartments where waste can be effectively flushed to the dry chamber on the right for drain off.

This pond project commenced early afternoon of 30 March '07. The overall pond outline has taken shape. Background is the koi pond with a shallow pond at the front end (not visible) with a combine water volume of 13 metric ton. The size of the filter chamber at the foreground is built with a ratio of approximately 26% of the pond. Picture taken on morning of 13 April '07.

The koi pond will be built with fountain vase and water flowing from two locations along the wall lined with cultured tiles.

This is the location where a koi pond is being considered and should be ready 6 weeks from now. The owner took much effort consulting Fengshui master on the best location for this new koi pond. Such effort is important and brings about peace of mind. Even the day and time for the work commencement of the pond have been determined by this Fengshui master.

We will do our best to have a great pond to meet the satisfaction of Mr Hoe and his family members. This is going to be a pond filled with great koi for sure.

Koi Pond - Budget approach - unveiled

Picture shows the completed koi pond. Take special note of the built-in filter box just behind the pond. Next the water has to be prepared before the koi can be released onto the pond. Congratulations to the proud owner of this Taman Johore resident.



Look at the idea of just buying a blue tank complete with filter chamber (this is not shown in picture yet) and all required filter media and then have a contractor set it up. This approach is low cost and take about a week to have the whole system set up, allowing the owner to enjoy the fun and excitement of koi keeping.

Picture shows work in progress of a Taman Johor resident having his place done up. More will be shown when it is completed. See us at our outlet for more information if you have this in mind.

Talks on Koi Care

Another week-end just passed by. As usual we have many customers dropping by to our retail outlet. Some to purchase koi while others came to seek advice and information on koi care. I came to realize from feedback provided by one customer this afternoon that organizing talks on koi care for new residential areas will be a good way of promoting koi keeping.

I will seriously consider this and hope to be able to bring our expertise to lend support to koi hobbyists who just started out. Meantime should you need help please feel free to visit us at our outlet or give us a call or click - more about koi care page - where relevant topics on how to take care of your koi are featured.
