i would not put anything ment for a septic tank in my pond. for
beneficial bacterial, look for "cycle" at your local aquarium store.
it's liquid with bacteria, commonly used for starting aquariums. you
can get fairly large bottles of it.


Google Pond and Rid-x... it sound like it is the exact same thing, and some
people add it monthly to aid decomposition.

A septic tank is an anaerobic environment; a pond / pond filter is (hopefully)
an aerobic environment. The enzymes might do some good (assuming they're
fish-safe), the bacteria won't survive.
