That's good to hear. I asked you to buy heavy duty / normal battery because the power will run out in time, at least you will remember to change the battery so no need for visual observation. Not to worry. I err on the safe side.

Hi kim Yong

"Palu" is the short form of Paludarium.

With creation of the natural flora, mosses surrounding, DIY rock or even DIY waterfall,the pond will look Kota Tinggi water fall surroundings.

If i have space, I'll do it without fail, but alas, my 6ft tank palu already occupied my balcony space and another similar project coming will be locate at living hall.

Anyway, let me know if you're interested, a few hardcore palu/viva bros that include me, lah.. willing to help you through!

i have done water fall prior to this setup. the algae bloom along the waterfall walls is quite unbearable. i have to remove them every week. i have since tear down the water fall, evolved till this stage to be almost algae free.

my tank is a 60X60X18 cm (2ft by 2ft with and length) think it might be too small for that.

Hi Kim Yong, very nice pond. Gives me great inspiration to do something similar for my balcony. But can I ask if the pond is a fibreglass tank? So far all the FGTs I've seen are all black, where did you get this? This would definitely look better for a shallow pond in the balcony for fish viewing.
