This is a project I've had on the back burner for many months now, but now it's finally ready! We rigged up a wireless camera and aimed it at the KOI pond here, directly where my KOI get their daily feedings. To check it out right now, visit www.koi-cam.com. Right now, it's just a snapshot that can be updated by hitting your 'refresh' button on your browser - but soon we'll have it available as a streaming video feed. The KOI get regular feedings at the times listed on the website. check out my new auto-feeder called 'Koi-Cafe' also shows at www.koi-cam.com. This feeder is run by battery, and also comes with a solar panel for re-charging the battery! It's not hooked up yet, but it's still pretty amazing. The feeder makes sure that my hungry little underwater pigs get all the food they need to grow large and healthy. Plus, we've just added some new fish recently, right out of Charles Lewis' (President of The Tropical Koi Club of South Florida) personal collection. We'll be having a photo tour of Charles' pond very soon - he's got some beautiful show koi in his 10,000 gallon pond. Charles has also written a couple interesting articles on Water Quality and how to avoid 'New Pond Syndrome' which you can read at the KOI FLA website here: www.koifla.com Or you can access the article direcly here: http://www.geocities.com/koifla/New_Pond.htm We also welcome your comments about KOI Cam! Feel free to email us at newsletter@macarthurwatergardens.com with your thoughts and feedback. Stay tuned for more KOI-cam announcements... |
