    Mine isn't that big but I just switch the hose out to the side, turn the pump on and pump.it out. Clean out all the junk and refill.

    Your pond seems to be big enough so I think it would not be possible to clean it all by yourself. I don't have personal experience of cleaning any so I can't help in any way but just a thought- you should call in professional help for the purpose.

    Average bathtub will hold almost 90 gallons. Just empty the pond, scrape out the debris and refill. Can't be that big.
