A 3000 gph pump will circulate 3000 gallons of water per hour and has a potential lift of 26 feet. This refers to its performance in a pond/waterfall. This doesn’t mean the water will go 26 feet in the air; you need 1 foot of lift for each filter, 1 foot of lift for each 10 feet the pump pushes the water horizontally (such as through tubing) and 1 foot of lift for each foot in your waterfall. But you’re asking about a fountain, not a waterfall!
This may be a question better suited for your local pond store; you may need other items such as an adaptor or a flow adjustor. To read some very basic information about pond and waterfall pumps, try http://www.discount-pumps.biz/choose-pond-pump.htm
I am sorry I could not be more helpful, but I certainly wish you luck with your fountain! You might check Yahoo Groups for ponding fans and the Internet for ponding message boards.
