No, didn't use anything other than tap water. It was just empty for about a week, and apparently any nasties evaporate off. Lots of rain recently mean it is crystal clear. Not sure what happens in future as it will no doubt slowly fill with organic matter, which is the general enemy of clear water I think.
Nice work! Did you use an de-chlorinating stuff after? I've weighing up getting/borrowing a pond hoover for ours to give it a really good clean as we have some fish / frogs / newts and I'm a little unsure about successfully emptying the pond of all that to clean it out without hurting something in the process.
