Actually, have done nothing to the pond in 3 years, and everything is still working fine. Except, I did hook up a float in the sump, so that when we go away in the summer, I can hook up the garden hose and don't have to worry about it running dry due to evaporation. But it really is low (as in none) maintenance compared to my SW tanks.
The sump, is where the babies ended up surviving, as the adults couldn't eat them there. When they got bigger, I netted them and transferred them to the main pond (and after the adults were removed).
Have to say, though, that seeing your pond and Dez's is inspiring and maybe I should do something more with mine. Right now the water lines run underground to and from the filter box up by the house. For the return, I could build a little stream back to the pond (similar to what Dez did) with little falls and a bridge. But will have to find some time for that, and I guess the motivation to start another project.
