I am not into ponds' exactly..
But we do have many members' who are..
and I am sure someone can/will come thru and
lend you a tip or two on your question..
In the meantime while you're waiting a bit...
There's another poster in your country who is in
the process of building a pond..
Take a peak thru his post and I will PM him and see if he is still available to maybe make a comment or hint about what he's done and that may help you in your pond adventure...
