| The only additives that I feel comfortable adding to my pond are Koi-Zyme and Montmorillonite clay (several brands available). If the idea is to get your pond to achieve equilibrium, then it seems to me that introducing foreign bugs will simply delay that process. Perhaps akin to medicating yourself, in that you can mask symptoms but the root problem remains. If you have a problem with algae and put something in to remove it, you still have the problem i.e.- nutrient rich water, poor water quality, etc.. The better approach might be to increase filtration, oxygenation and etc.. I would include profilactic treatments with pp in this arena as well. I used to be a mechanic and we called all the additives for your gas/oil "mouse milk". In my mind there are plenty of people willing to separate you from your cash for a magic bullet. The question is, "What are the other effects (unintended) of this product?". Just a few thoughts. Good luck.
