Richtoybox - When you say 750gph, do you mean a 750gph pump or a pump
that would spill 750gph at the HEIGHT (top) of the Falls?

I.e.; The Pondmaster 700gph is 400 at 6 feet.
the 950gph is really 720
The 1200gph is 950

I'm getting so frustrated with this process. Really worried about
investing in the wrong setup. I just want to make sure the pump for
the biofilter is going to be perfect to keep the pond moving and clear
24/7. I guess the 2nd pump for Waterfall drama is less important - or
easier to figure out as it would be more the "bonus" pump and not
really detrimental to the pond.

Hope to get many more opinions. After 3 days of this, I'm about ready
to cry.

get the bigger pump you can afford even if you pump a little extra water
through the bio filter it wont hurt some remomend 1 x pond volume per
hour some recomend 2x per hour and I am runing pond volume every 4
hours myself right now
all you are trying to do is get the water to the bio bugs if they
dont get it the first round thy'll pick it up on another round remember
they arent just in the filter they are in the whole pond on every
surface plants liner rock fish whatever

relax it s not realy that critical

If it can't be fixed with bailing wire or duct tape
its not worth fixing
