   For 3x that amount so 2500 gal pump to work great.

   The top of the pump must be able to push water in the water thru the filter and then going bigger you get better advice elsewhere and then going bigger you get better advice elsewhere and then going bigger you need to turn over all the pond and stream every hour plus the water thru.
