Gallon question

thanks for the replies everyone, I had thought at first top offs would work but then also thought about my saltwater tank and we do changes on them to take out bad matter so I thought, hey I probably need to do this to the pond also.
another quick question, for the water changes do I need to use dechlorinator or will it work just letting the water set in a clean container for 24 hrs or longer?

It depends on what's in your tap water. If it's chlorine, then yes, letting it sit will do the job. If it's chloramine, that's not going to evaporate, and you'll need to buy some Prime. It's not really that expensive -- a $40.00 bottle of Pond Prime will last you a good long while.
You definitely need to do water changes -- I do mine the same frequency and percentage as on my tanks -- 25% every two weeks, testing the week in between.
