Hi


Why bother with bottled bacteria if you already have
established aquariums or ponds? Just use some filter
media, mulm, etc from your existing setups!


If available.


Yes, I believe Koi-lo has posted pictures of her ponds and talked of her
aquariums. So why would she bother with bottled bacteria?

See my other message. Seeded sponges and a cup of seeded gravel don't
always "take" and do the job. Maybe the bacteria die in the slightly
different water. Maybe there isn't enough for the size of the "new" set-up.
Who knows? I would definitely use it in new outdoor setups.
