What size pump do you need for a 165 gal fish pond?

For most ponds with fish you need to circulate the total volume of the pond once per hour. So for a 165 gallon pond, you theoretically need at least a 165 GPH (gallon per hour) pump. However, not all pumps are created equal, and the flow rate of pumps is usually rated at zero head pressure and with nothing attached. So a 165 GPH pump on the bottom of a 2 foot deep pond with a few feet of tubing and maybe a water feature or waterfall could reduce that 165 GPH to perhaps 100 GPH or less. So for a 165 gallon pond, you would probably want to look at 250-350 GPH pumps. If you have an above average fish load or a large waterfall or stream attached, you may want to go even larger.

Why would a pump on a pond not work after cleaning the pond and putting the pump back?

If the pump is running and not pumping after you reinstalled it, the pump may be air-bound. A small air pocket is in the pump preventing the impeller from moving water effectively. Pumps are very good at moving water but are very, very poor at moving air under pressure. You need to relieve the air from the volute.

What is the benefit of using an external pump for ponds and water gardens?

Sometimes you need to change diaphragms or filters in the pump and it is a lot easier when it is outside the water. It's also better when you winterize a pond for the big freeze of winter. External filters are easier to change and clean. Your pond will thank you.
