Maurice: There have been a great number of positive experiences with Bakki Showers & Bacteria House, and it could well be that the addition of BS/BH is what got you pass the greenwater stage. The positive result with a low volume of media may indicate how much surface area fresh BH exposes to the water. But, I do not buy the far-infra red rays puffery. So, I return to the idea that it was your pond getting thru the initial cycling stage that eliminated the greenwater. The BH may have materially contributed to the resolution. It would be interesting if you had ammonia readings before & after BS/BH set up.

BTW, those are great looking kohaku youngsters you've raised up. The new pond may fill up quickly if you get many more like that!
