Lol Hurricane wont phase it as well made cement vats the place is an old place from what they told me never had hurricane problems but what I found amazing was the discus,angelfish among other warm water fish are outside all yr long with no heat and above ground 'ponds" I can see buried because here in Miami even in cold rare days ground stays in 70s but above ground I couldnt fathom for delicate fish.

pretty cool. The question is what is in the concrete. How deep are the ponds.

The ponds looked roughly 2 feet deep they look deeper in pic but would say no more than 2 feet .

I wouldnt mind buying it as into that outside stuff beats an office and would love to operate something like that however since buying it is out of the question now lol pics will do but imagine many here wouldnt mind owning something like that to its just neat.

I would use UV in one main system if I owned it as fish like plecos,cory cats hard to see but they do have healthy stuff green water or not

I know I am not a koi person either I think the cichlid ponds looks great . Its to hot here 9 months of the year for KOI (unless you have big pond in shade) have seen a few cichlid ponds be it African with rock work or SA,CA Cichlids with wood,plants and by far prefer that

they have a constant inflow of water from a well, in the summer this keeps the water cooler, but in the winter the inflow from the well keeps the water warm enough.

pretty standard South Florida fish farm
