Then a layer of bottom substrate can be added. Then fill the pond with water. After it has settled, you can start with the other things. A pond can be furnished with aquatic plants, rocks and maybe dead coral pieces that have washed to the shore. You can also keep a non-aquatic wine like plant as it might creep its way into the pond and make a forest appe...
