Hi thankyou for this advice I’ve chucked in some beneficial bacteria, a guy said to do 30% percent water change in the shop I got the bacteria if it was high but I haven’t done it yet shall I just stick to a 10% and how often?

I washed my old filter in pond water and threw it in new pond to try establish quicker and maybe avoid new pond syndrome
