I’m going to be listing pond installers that I know, and the ones that are CAC (Certified Aquascape) Contractors.
Pond Installers
Finding a pond installer is not always easy. Some hold themselves out as experts and only know how to install ONE kind of pond, which is great if that’s the kind of pond you want! 🙂
All I know is, GET and CALL references. See a picture book. Pay for an on site evaluation. This is NOT just for them to ‘size up’ the job (those consults should be free). This is an opportunity (which should be paid for) for you to learn:
- The “ins and outs” of different designs and positions in your yard
- The expertise of the installer – their chance to impress.
- What kinds of ponds and fish, as well as filtration, are currently available.
- If it’s not educational, do NOT pay for the consult.

This is The LCD Screen Scope | This Filter is Good For BIG Dirty Tanks |
PraziPro for Flukes | Buy Some Good Koi? |
Best Food, Ever | Pro Air 60 Aerator is a VERY high output air pump pushing my whole fish room (17+ drops), and I have one at home driving everything there, and I have one as a back up. |
Formalin Malachite (Not dilute) | Topical For Koi and Pond Fish Ulcers |

I have over ten of these Titanium Heaters in my fish room and at home. They're a paradigm shift in aquarium heating. They're titanium and 400W for under $30! Whaaaaaaaaat? | CyroPro by Hikari is safe and easy for Anchor Worms and Fish Lice. |
Whatever heaters you use, back yourself up with a temperature controller, it'll turn on, and off your heaters. If your heater seizes "on" at least the thermostat will stop a tragedy. | LifeGuard by Tetra is a tablet version of a tame 'chloramine-t' or 'halamid' compound that's easy to get and good on bacterial infections, in baths. |
Antimicrobial | For me, filtration-of-choice |
Rubber sided, round, nettable tanks | 1200 Watt heater, on a thermostat held securely above the waterline, works GREAT as a large tank heater. That's all I'll say because there's risk of electrocution and all that. But then, even in a bucket you could get killed. Sound like fun? |
