setting up new pond

Hi
I am setting up an new pond for a friend , need some help
Size will be about 36000 liters deepest point 2 meter
Now I have a place left behind the pond off 6 meter by 1,5 meter for the filter .
I was thinking to use 2 pumps off 18000l /hour or will 2x 15000l/h be enough ( pond volume include filter will be in between 40 plus to 50000 liter depending on filter setup)
next need advice about filter set up , if I will make a vortex from concrete the diameter will be left about 130 /135 cm
will the water spin to fast ?
The options I have are: 4 x vortex , 1 vortex plus 3 chamber ,or 4 chamber
If I will make a normal 4 chamber filter the size will be around 12000 liter ( 1.5 meter deep) , when I make 4 x vortex this will be much less .
Next question , can I use k1 kaldness in a normal chamber and can my filter be smaller when use k1, and is it really better then japanese matting or matala
after this filter the water will still go to 2 separate trickel towers / and small veggie fiter and then to a small water fall back in the pond
So basicly my question is what will be the best filter to built in a 6 x 1.5 meter space with a water flow off around 30000 liter /hour, pond and filter will be made off concrete
thanks William
