Hello, I am planning to buld my first pond.

In addition to the other comments with which I agree, you should
consider if the focus of your pond will be fish, or plants (water
lilly, lotus, etc.) If fish, you are in fine shape. If plants, be
advised that water lillies need lots of direct sun, and you should
consider placing the pond in a place where it is not shaded for much
of the day. 5-6 hours of direct sun should be enough.
