I should have my pond filled and running next week, now my question is, on filling of my pond and running of it, how long before I can add my fish to it. I will obviously be adding normal tap water, now with chlorine etc etc what would the best\safest\quickest option for me be.

Please advise, thanks

I ran mine for 6 weeks and boosted the filter with bioboost.

I then checked water parametres and put in a test pilot

eish.....6 weeks

Heard alot of stories, some say 1 week when chlorine killing agents added, 3 weeks if just tap water with no additives running thru system, 2 weeks if I add my old 800 litres to new pond.....

Really would like the quickest, safest option..........really dying to get my fish in this pond!
