You're 'getting' a 275g pond, but you need a liner. Just curious, but where did you get that gallon number from? Volume of the hole I assume?
Either way, there is only one thing you need to understand about ponds, but it's a big thing and has many branches of understanding.
The Nitrogen Cycle
Essentially, Fish waste (liquid) is Ammonia. Ammonia is converted by biofiltration (bacteria colonies) into Nitrates and Nitrites. These two plant soluable forms of Nitrogen are plant food.
Dealing with this liquid waste and its conversion into plant food is the fight against algae. If you have enough plants doing their job then you won't have enough plant food for the algae. If you don't have enough plants you will have algae growth.
That's all biology. Next is technical. You have three distinct types of filters you need to have to keep your pond clean.
So, imaging your pond, you have an amoeba shaped thing full of water. On one side you have your pump and on the other side you have a waterfall weir (this is a good example of one with a slot for a filter pad - mechanical / biological filtration, though personally I like to have a Rubbermaid Stock Tank with a bulkhead fitting and a 3" PVC tube coming out for the spillover. Easy and provides a fantastic area for plant filtration). The placement of the pump and the waterfall on opposite ends of the pond means you get a good water flow. No dead zones, etc.
Also, point of consideration, if your pond is 275g you should get a pump no smaller than 300gph or thereabouts. You want to cycle the pond at least once per hour. Moving water helps the filtration.
Next, and of secondary importance, is to make sure you have an adequate Dissolved Oxygen content. This is usually maintained by having a waterfall, but if you don't have that you can get an airstone or aerator. Something like this, but obviously not so large. But, if you have a decent waterfall or fountain you will be fine.
Anyway, if you have these three types of filtration, mechanical and phytological being the most important, and a good pump, you will have a happy pond.

The build was pretty simple, when you break it down. It took a while just with life stuff getting the way and I didn't do everything exactly to this order - adding floating plants before I was done sealing the edges, didn't do the final liner trim until very last etc., but this is the gist:
My pond is 5 feet deep, about 5000 gallons, turtles, fish, etc. I had same problem and solved it by buying and installing underwater cameras and hooking to my existing surveillance system. With this setup we watch inside from the comfort of our tv.
I bought them from Amazon and had them up for a year. Super happy with them.

Good luck!
Thank you for the help! I inherited this pond when I moved in...but I believe this is what I have. https://www.amazon.com/Laguna-4000-Clear-Flo-Kit/dp/B00T3L4KNU/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_3?keywords=laguna+4000+clear+flo+kit&qid=1554230131&s=gateway&sr=8-3-fkmrnull

Fish enjoy hiding behind the rocks as they are just lined by the wall. Makes it super hard to get them out.
I appreciate all the help and suggestions.
How do I clean the pond in the future when I have fish in there again? Do I need to do the drain again?
We have the Enbrighten puck lights around our pond and they're awesome. I've purchased several LEDs for the pond/garden over the years, but these Enbrightens are the best. However, they come in 6 pack and may be overkill depending on your size.

There are some weatherproof LED lamps with remotes on Amazon for $16. I bought these originally, but needed more lights on a single strand. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071NDG8TH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
We have some flame bulbs as well, but those are better suited for Halloween, in my opinion.
Well, since it's a rubber (I assume 45mm EPDM rubber) then the patching is pretty easy. Most likely the cut / hole will be obvious.
But you will have to remove the rock. Just get a Patch Kit (something like this) and start removing the rock all around the edge.
When you find the cut, clean it thorougly and let dry. Make sure the day is warm and dry as you don't want it to be wet or too cold. Scuff up the liner, smear the glue, let it sit for a few seconds to tack up, and then smash that puppy on there. Rull it thoroughly and let it sit for ... I really forget. I believe it was like 30minutes. I could be wrong.
The patch will be stronger than the liner.
I live in So Cal where there is a lot of sun and warm weather which is very good for algae, so I bought this UV filter and it totally changed my green water pond to a crystal clear one. UV Filter at Amazon
Just turn it off when you add microbe treatment.
Do not use chemicals to control algae, ever. By a small UV filter and within a week thinks should look clearer. Never use bleach in a pond.
Something like this is cheap and effective.

Get a filter with a UV light on amazon, it'll clear the water right up and requires probably the least amount of work. the bulb will need to be changed every year, but they only cost about $20 for 2... you'll also need a pump.
I struggled doing it without a UV light for years... then finally got the aforementioned filter with UV light and it fixed in 2 or 3 days. But as I said, stay on top of the light.
I have this one, it's pretty big...

That is what I assumed. Thanks!

Has anyone tried a floating alligator ? We’ve had good luck keeping the birds out. We’ve kept koi and a goldfish for nearly 8 years, and we’ve never lost one to a bird. I saw a heron perched on the side of the pond once, but it flew away when I approached.
Yes you can get fancy guppies, and male look prettier, but if you wanted you could get girls, or both but you’ll have lots of babies (that can be a plus). Sponge filters aren’t expensive.
Just find a properly rate air pump for your size, typically they have the rating in the description. You’ll also need a piece of sponge, airline tubing, and an air stone
airline tubing
sponge
You should be able to find airstones for $1-2 at a local fish shop. You’ll also need an air pump rated for your pond size.
Something like this?

If you don't use a heater, than when you catch your koi, you can bring them inside and let the bucket sit overnight so the temperature is the same as the tub. If your pond was filled with the same water your tub is, I would not worry about water parameters. If on city water, it needs to be dechlorinated. Since it hasn't froze yet, I would catch a few koi a day, put them in a bucket, bring it in overnight, and then put the koi in the tub.
Does the pond have a filter? 18 4 inch koi is a big bioload, you do not want to cycle your tub, you want to either transfer the ponds filter inside, or get the new filters going on the pond now, to build up bacteria. The less you feed, the less load you put on the filters.
The filters are basically the same.
