Just set up my 3000gal pond 4 days ago (water in).
have had the falls running and filled with lavarock.
should i use product called Microblift???

Never heard of that product before. you want to wait a bit before adding koi. i say a few weeks. the koi are going to want some salt in the water too to simulate the natural salts found in their environment. go to a hardware store and grab a bag or two of Solar Salt, it is the same stuff used in water softeners. then put 1 tbsp per 5 gal of water of the salt in your pond. the koi will be much happier. if you can go and try to find some Mosquito fish for your pond. they are good for conditioning and will eat any mosquito larve that try to develop in the slow moving parts. any questions let me know. good luck.

Never heard of it.

I just read up on it and i would say don't bother. it is supposed to help cycle the pond really quick but actually it is just adding nitrifying bacteria. your pond will take care of itself in a few weeks. throw some cheap mosquito fish in and you'll be fine.
