i've a nice little pond at my garden. Now i'm thinking of buy a good lighting features. Anyone can suggest me?
My pond is about 4' x 4' x 1' deep. I have 3 cute water plant (i can't remmeber the name and one of it call water orchid), a little fountain and 'koi'fishs.
uh..i dont know maybe just make sure you don't warm up the water too much, or maybe just light your garden outside/around the pond. another idea could be to hide lighting bulbs/lights behind a rock so that it looks natural, light coming out of a rock or a small structure might be cool also. I guess also think of those who enjoy the pond, and where it is best to light it so that it doesn't interfere with there wondering eyesight... also you can put things that reflect light if it looks good, like small mirror or 'shiny' things', or even things that absorbed light and are fosforent. You can also play with light colors, ...just some ideas.

If you are considering setting up a koi pond in your garden, be sure that you are prepared first. The first thing that you will want to do if you are considering setting up a pond in your garden, is to choose a proper location. Before you begin any digging, take some measurements, and make sure that you will have enough room for the pond that you intend to use.
You will also want to make certain that you are near enough to an electrical outlet, in order to operate your pond's pump. This will save a great deal of money in having one installed.
You will need to decide if you will purchase a preformed pond, or build it yourself. You will want to make sure that your pond is at least three feet deep. This will ensure that your koi will stay healthy, and safe from predators. If small children live nearby, you will probably want to consider fencing in this garden area.
You may want to consider making this garden and organic one. Any chemicals which are used can cause harm to your koi. Even the smallest amount can become fatal. Make sure that your pond is not located near any garden equipment, which may have chemicals on them.
If you decide to have plants in your koi pond, you must choose very wisely. Koi notoriously will dig up most plants which are in their area. A good choice would be lilies. This will offer your koi fish shade, and a place to hide from potential predators.
Installing a koi pond in your garden is a perfect way to make your yard more attractive. This will make a beautiful focal point, with the relaxing sound of the moving water. Small ponds are becoming quite popular, as they do not take up a great deal of room, are not extremely expensive, and make any yard look even more beautiful.
If you would like to build a koi pond in your yard it's easier than you may think. You can purchase koi pond kits that make the job easier than ever.
