In addition to some good info you've gotten here, there are pond forums if you are interested.

I have a friend with one and I donated some culverts to him that we dropped in with a front end loader. Good permanent habitat that algae will grow on.

Also, in one corner I brought him a couple of pick up truck beds full of broken slab pieces.

He had also anchored some big trees in it while it was dry.

PVC "Crappie Condos" too.

Do tires make good artificial reefs in ponds?

Dont put white perch in it, too small a pond. (they will dominate and you will end up with a pond full of small white perch)

I've seen some bolted together weighted down and dropped in.

Yeah, white crappie in a small pond is a bad idea. My landlord stocked put some in his 5 acre pond. He's spent the next 7 years trying to fish them all out, they spawn earlier than everything else and will eat everything that hatches after that. I caught some nice bass in his pond when I first moved in, 3 years later it was all crappie and damn hard trying to find a bass.
