I"m hoping once I have learned a bit more about ponds, it'll be much easier. Certainly it's not a lot of work.

With our fountain, it was put it in place, plug it in, and add water that was lost through evaporation.

With the pond, it's treat the water so the fish dont die from the cloramines or whatever they are called, but that only involves added a bit of liquid treatment. I have learned that I have algae because I have a submerged lotus plant, that has fertilizer in it. That will get the algae going. I bought a passive filter that is sitting on the bottom of the pond and added another water treatment for the algae, neither were a big deal. When the pond store has liquid barley I will add that.

I went from no maintaince with the fountain, to a bit of maintanence with the pond. We are much happier with the pond.
Here's our pond.
