no fish or plants doesn't really qualify as a pond; it's a water feature,
one of the great disfigurements of modern domestic design. It will knock
millions off the value of your house. You don't need a filter, just a splash
of some hideous chemical from time to time to kill the algae

You've got that right. Oh well, to each, his/her own. Not even a tadpole?
What a waste.
