some of the bio media out of the submurgeable filter in my pond and put
in in a media bag in my tank to kick start it. Will this work? I want
to try to minimize the cycle process. I also have some pondzyme.
Should I put that in the tank too?

they are goldfish. and they are about 3.5 inches long. I was going to
bring two or three of them in and put them in a 55 gallon tank.

I did similar, but started the 1st of October and brought one fish at a
time in over 4 weeks. Worked great, no big spikes, though I used Amquel, so
no toxic ammonia and nitrite was almost nil.

I used all tap water, and let the filter run for 5 days before introducing
first fish. I made sure the pH was the same as pond, then I brought fish
in, in a tub and didn't transfer them till the end of the day so they
gradually warmed up. At the same time I brought in a bucket of pond water,
salted it (per Ingrid's advice) and just before they went into tank, they
were salt dipped 3-5 minutes. ~ jan

Yes, I didn't mention, but I did do it. Aerate both tub & bucket.
