I would add a separate section along the side and essentially almost fill with gravel, running the water up through it so it appears at one end and runs across the top like a stream before the water is piped back into the pond through a diffuser. this gives you a separated stream habitat and an under gravel filter without disturbing the pond. growing watercress or similar will help use up the nutrients, and sticklebacks minnows and gudgeon would love the flow.
😻 Water pump try star jet for max surface movement /oxygenation, and remove fountain extensions ( reduces head, therefore increases flow). Airpump cut airline to a minimum required. will allso increase performance by not pressurizing a lot of pipes. The results were great!
I have a pond like yours but im trying to grow grailings and brook trouts. For water pump if you need one i reccomend you the chinese Jebao DC water pumps. They are made in China but they are quality, made for use in saltwater, 24 volts and for 10 000 liters an hour water moving capacity, they consume only 80-100 watts. For filtration and oxigenation i reccomend you the best filter which is a protein skimmer that works in fresh water. Its called Clarity protein skimmer and very easy to make ( ask me if you ever want to built one). Crucians and tench are valuable fish that dont need the protein skimmer thogh.
