The place to be on March 13th, 14th and 15th is the Central Florida Koi Show. This year, as in the past, the show will be held at the Holiday Inn Resort, located at 6515 International Drive in Orlando. The resort is simply beautiful. This event is an indoor-outdoor event. Outdoors there is a huge tent, set up in the parking lot. In the tent is an array of show tanks, holding Koi entered for judging. This is a sight to behold! There are also a select few vendors set up in this area.

The indoor portion of the show is set up in the atrium. Here is where most of the vendors are located. You will be able to purchase almost anything you can think of relating the the Koi keeping hobby. You can buy fish, filtration systems, fish food, fish medications, and water conditioners. You can even purchase koi related art.

This Koi Show is free to the public, so pack up the kids and head to International Drive. You won't be disappointed. Come and visit Pondrx.com in booth #24 in the atrium. I would really like to meet you!

Here it is the first week of February and most of the country is experiencing mid-winter-like weather. There are freezing temperatures as far south as Florida. But within six weeks or so, spring will be here and we need to be thinking about our ponds. Early spring is a time to prepare our ponds for the coming season by cleaning out all of the debris that gathers over the winter. It is also a great time to treat your pond water with KoiZyme to boost up your beneficial bacteria. This is critical in order to fight off the Aeromonas and Pseudomonas which cause bacterial infections. KoiZyme is an all natural product made up of beneficial bacteria and enzymes. Using KoiZyme will make your beneficial bacteria colony stronger, allowing the bacteria to outpace the Aeromonas and Psuedomonas for nutrition, thus conquering the "bad guys". A side benefit is the fact that by eliminating the bad bacteria, you will also eliminate the dreaded bacterial ulcer disease.

KoiZyme is available in two sizes, 16 oz, which treats up to 24,000 gallons and 32 oz, which treats up to 48,000 gallons. At $25.99 and $49.99, respectively, it is a very cost effective insurance policy for your koi's health.
