As long as you don't have fish, the Internet says they're good.
Let me find that 'pond in a bucket' video from the jolly looking wildlife pond chap.

I really wanted to do this with our old loft tank, but my OH is worried about the kids drowning in it. Pls post updates on how you get on so I can live vicariously through you.
Edit: the point about fish is that they shit. If you can keep the neutriants low and establish oxygenating plants then you should only have to do some general maintenance in winter to tidy, and possibly summer to fish out excess alge.

@cozzzzzzzz
are ponds good or bad ? I have an old water tank from my loft which actually looks quite nice and I was thinking about perhaps recycling it as a pond in my garden… but won’t do so if having a pond is (1) a total pain in the arse or (2) loads and loads of maintenance
