I don't believe it. It's done. More 6 months and I will have crystal clear water.


Finally I did it. I finish and now just have to wait for it grows.

I have many more images and information to give, on the diverse phases of construction that would allow to elucidate better the project, but the space that I have in the web is not much.

This project started the 13 of June of 2006 and was concluded at 15 of October of 2006.

 I hope you had enjoyed this web and with these few pages and contribut in some way to world of enthusiastic of Kois Keepers.
