Here are the items you will to have a functioning, low maintenance ecosystem pond:
A Circulation System
This includes the pumps and plumbing of a pond. The proper size pump and pipe diameter are key to the functioning of an ecosystem pond. In addition, an efficient circulation system helps keep the water moving, adding necessary oxygen for your fish and plants.
Proper Filtration System
To have a fully working filtration system, you will need both a biological and a mechanical filter. A biological filter provides surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize and remove excess nutrients from the water. A mechanical filter will not only pre-filter the water and house the pump; it will also skim debris from the water’s surface to prevent the accumulation of organic materials on the pond floor.

Fish
Fish are an integral part of any ecosystem. Fish reduce pond maintenance, as they graze on string algae and bottom feed from the pond floor.
Aquatic Plants
Plants add an important piece to your ecosystem pond. Not only do they provide color and texture to your pond, but they are also an amazing natural filtration system. In addition, they provide shade and coolness to the pond fish in the hot summer and allow fish a safe place to hide from predators.
