The great thing about beneficial bacteria is that it can be used at any time in a pond or water garden. We at Aquascapes treat our water year around, starting with the first day the water feature is turned on.

Our recommendation is to use bacteria as soon as possible! Your fish will thank you. We are more than happy to help you if you have a specific question about your water garden! We’re just a call away.
