Turned out really nice. Is it going to be just for wildlife or will there be fish in it?

This pond that I am building is going to be for the owner to swim in and for her dogs to swim in, there are some frogs moved in already so some wild life... She is adamant about not having fish in it because of her wanting to swim in it from time to time...
As for filtration there will be two filters, and then there is also about 60 square feet of area that will have plants in about 4 to 6 inches of gravel that water will filter through as well... There is also a 40 foot stream and falls to go in as well, and the pump will be 10k gallons an hour, I hope that will be enough to keep algae in check, if not we may do some plant troughs to flow water through for more filtration and for some gardening effect.
