Uses for old pond 
I am getting a new 750 litre preformed pond put in where my 150 currenlty is situated and I was wondering if there was anything i could keep in the 150? I could keep the pond indoors or outdoors.

150 liters is about 40 gallons, so, that’s pretty small for a lot of turtle species. You could maybe try one mud or musk turtle; they stay relatively small, about 3 - 5 inches depending on species. You could always bring it inside for some tropical fish (you have a filter for it right?) Converting it to a terrarium of sorts could work too. Just choose reptiles that could live comfortably in a 40 gallon enclosure; Collard Lizard, Female Bearded Dragon, 4 Green or Bahaman Anoles (if you created a sturdy/secure lid for the pond form.)

how about frogs? build a vivarium around the top, with land areas around the edge (basically get a sheet of ply wood and cut a hole the same shape/size as the pond, slide it through. most ponds have a lip around the edge so u can screw that to the wood. then build a base and vivarium around that.
u could then get a load of semi-aquatic frogs, firebellies?
or if u make the viv taller u could go for some water dragons, install a drain on the pond for easy cleaning.
ita bit too small for any turtles, other than mud/musk turtles.... but if u can find a resuce centre in ur area try rehomin any turtle cos most are kept in evne smaller tanks at resuce centres... anything is better.
