New pond/stream

[-Greg-]

So this weekend my lillies and plants arrived, so along with replacing the boulders lining the stream with the quartz, I planted the surrounding plants, and the lillies and bog plants. I also built up my skippy with the venturi, and hopefully tonight I will get it installed. As far as start up bacteria, should I order some from the skippy website, or would a bucket full of the water from my temporary pond suffice? I can also remove the filters on the temporary pond and rinse them out into the new pond if anyone thinks that it would help?

Thanks!

It looks great!  You did a wonderful job.

As long as you don't have it overloaded with fish, you shouldn't have to order bacteria.  If it makes you feel better, put the pads from the temporary pond into the filter of the new pond to jump start it.  They'll seed the new filter fairly quickly.
