You might want to get a cheap solar pump or something to keep that water moving around. It's going to get stagnant real quick, get some algae blooms, and be a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

theres a little one in the back that creats a dorky waterfall to keep the water circulating. so far the duckweeds kept evaporation down and the toads keep the misquitoes in check.
