you will need a LOT of filtration, but if you set it up right, it can be a matter of every day, or every few days pulling out a cartridge (like a pool filter) and rinsing with the hose....
fish on their own aren't really that bad if you have good water movement and plants, but add the ducks...
between the ducks and my 1 red eared slider that's still around, and direct sunlight, my kiddie pond is a mess all the time.. i need to get something with filtration....
before i had birds, when i had just my turtles, this was one of my favorite websites for pond stuff...
