A 29-year-old woman from Fujian, China, took her passion for fish to the next level by building a fish pond on her balcony. She even designed it herself.

Waterproofing is essential when creating a fish pond or balcony aquarium, and leak detection can effectively prevent potential issues. Additionally, load-bearing capacity is crucial to ensure the balcony can withstand the weight of the pond.
The wife laid colorful tiles in the pond to create a vibrant and dynamic effect.
“Keeping the water clean is key to ensuring the fish stay healthy,” shared the husband. “My wife designed a water filtration system to achieve optimal water quality. She uses disposable boxes filled with various filter materials such as filter cotton, activated carbon, and gravel. The boxes are perforated to increase filtration speed. Her system has been in place for two years, and the fish are thriving without the need for filter material replacements.”
