Welcome to Pondinstaller.com

Pondinstaller is a site BY Pond Installers FOR Pond Installers. This is a place that you can send people who ask you good questions, and they can find their answers, WITHOUT sending them out to a website that will shortly steal that customer away from you.

This site is a free service of Dr. Erik Johnson, noted expert on fish health and industry consultant.

We hope to address many subjects in this web site.

For example, in the section on Marketing Fish:

  • "A Lab Builds Prestige"
  • "Your Retail Quarantine"
  • "Your Consumer Documents"
  • "Elements of A Good Fish Retailing System"
  • "Which Fish and How?"
  • "Livestock Profitability"
  • "Avoiding Time Drains"
  • "Limiting Liability"
  • "Further Resources"

Not Buying a Microscope
How Much Risk Are You Willing To Take?

Koi Versus Goldfish
Two very different retail experiences.

Don't Be a Fomite!
Fomites transmit disease from pond to pond. Are you a fomite?

Fish Are More Important Than Plants
At first, most aquascapers believe if a fish dies, it can be easily replaced. Unfortunately, your customer doesn't feel that way AT ALL. Fish are NOT disposable.

Salt
The definitive description, for your nightstand.

Koi Retail
Feeding, stocking levels, cutting retail losses, understanding pH and taking care of the livestock.

Fear Of Fish
Live fish livestock doesn't have to be a time drain if it's done well. Health secrets from the pro.

YOU CAN HELP!
Send in your questions, the ones customers ask all the time, and they will be answered on this web site for next time.
