You need stuff in the pond creating food for the bacteria to consume, so
don't throw your money away just yet. Even with starter, you'll still need
to monitor water quality, depending on how many (how big) fish you put in.
If you go slowly, 2 fish in, 2 fish in quarantine, the water quality should
not be a problem.

I don't think we've ever had anyone follow that advice though. ;o) Except
me, when I'm putting my goldfish back into the lily pond for the summer. 1
fish, once/week, or 2 every other week, is how I do it. ~ jan


Hope this is not a silly question but even though I'm not putting fish
in my small 3x3' waterfall/pond do I need to add anything. Bacteria
I take it would be if there are live animals in ones pond?
