I don;t have to worry about kick starting my pond, its a natural pond
been kicking itself for over 20 some years now.....I was just passing
on something i heard stated about using brewers yeast. Also heard you
can use baker yeast as well....don;t really know one way or another.

I have seen some of the so called stuff they sell used in another
liner type pond of my friends, and it stated to apply so much of it
inside the filter box, and spread some around surface of pond. It
appeared to do what you description of what yeast does.....I sort of
turned the water in the area that had it sprinkled on top a milky
white color, and even months later inside the filter box the stuff was
a reall yucky slimey mess, reminded you of soggy cornmeal............
