Im totally new to ponds and need some advice

There is no such thing as a "need" for UV. Some people like it, but it does
nothing for the _health_ of the pond, so on a tight budget, skip it.
(actually, I'd never consider it even with an unlimited budget, but I
recognize that as personal preference).

pump/filter do people recommend?? I do want a couple of small fish but
no more.


With a "couple" of (small) fish in that size pond, you don't even need a
pump or filter. Keeping it to just a couple, might be a problem :-)
