I think it might be a good idea test the existing water as-is and see what values are in there. Worth a single set of test reagents.

agreed with cookie, with the depth of those tanks >1m algae won't be a problem once you get the water circulating, just clean the excess out with a net and get some oxygen and water pumps circulating the water. Some big airstones could help break down the biosludge on the base of the ponds or grab some pond bacteria from an aquarium/pond shop to do the work.

+1 with the aeration that will surely break down and suspend the bio sludge where the mechanical filter can remove.

Tested the water, very High PH values.. But that's common here, almost all fishponds i've tested so far and were 8.0+

Haven't had the money to setup the systems yet but once we will start building i'll keep the forum updated.
