First thing:
Figure out the max GPH that your overflow(s) can handle.

Contact the company and get an actual gph rating fo the overflow. If I had to guess, I'd say 1200gph max. Definately give them a call.

And you would be right , 1200gph max thats what E-shopps just told me , so what do you reccommend ?
the same type of pump ?

and you can use this in an aquarium instead of a pond ?

Second:

"The pump"

Find a pump that pumps 1200gph or less at 4ft of head pressure. For example get a mag 1800 and add a ball valve in case you have to slow down the flow a bit

Ultimately, the output of the pump at the stated head pressure should NEVER exceed the max flow through the overflow(s). If you have a larger pump (mag 1800), use a ball valve to slow the flow a bit.
