I need some sort of bacteria starter/sludge eater for my ponds. I can
not get to www.pondguy.com to pick up any CSA that is so highly
recommended on this group. I was looking at buying some Pond-Zyme as it
seems to be about what I need. Is the CSA no longer available? Is there
a (inexpensive) alternative out there? What about the Pond-zyme, any
good? I need spomething to jump start my newly added bio-filter AND eat
the sludge/mulm from the bottom of the ponds.

Hi Rob,

CSA apparently was a product called BZT that Charles repackaged for
hobbyists' ponds. You can get BZT straight from the manufacturer now.

BZT is cheaper than CSA was, but you have to purchase a little more,
remember it does have a 2 year shelf life. United-Tech is the company that
makes it. It's was $34.45 plus shipping for 8 ozs. if you request Rob's
Ponder Special. 1-888-999-0545

You might want to google for BZT or United-Tech as I believe you can order
off the website now... though last I looked there you had to order $16
minimum. Good for a 20,000g pond for 2 years, that amount I believe. ~ jan
