Water Gardening: New Pond Owner; Freshly Cleaned & Filled, 0 by Shaigirl

My husband and I purchased a house with a small pond. Looking at other preformed drop-ins, I'd say it's likely 125 gallons. I finally got around to emptying, (patching), cleaning and filling it back up. I meticulously cleaned out the pump and filters and it's now back up and running. Where do I go from here? I have two plants I need to rinse off (currently covered in algae) and replant in the pond. I also would like to get some fish. I need to keep it simple and inexpensive as we're on a tight budget. Any help and/or suggestions would be very helpful as I'm obviously new to this. Thanks!
