You just have to keep changing the water. I siphon it away with a hose so I don't flood the run. The most I can go,between changes is 3 days but its,usually every other day it looks yucky and I change it.
 
I used to have a lovely green back yard; now I have a brown mess.
I used to enjoy my lovely green yard a couple of times a year when the sun was out.
I enjoy my brown sludge pile daily because of the little characters who live there now!

You'll struggle to fend off the decimation of your property but regular attention can help- remove poop, improve drainage with landscaping, pea gravel those hotspots.

As for water - the smaller the receptacle, the more frequently it will need changing.
I've got a 1200 litre pond and in winter it can almost go 2 weeks without a change but in summer I sometimes have to do twice a week...

Really should build the filter now :D
