That fountain off the same pump may take away too much flow to the filter and waterfall. You will need to choke it back in order to get the flow you need.

What do you mean by a 4 gallon water tank. I hope you don't plan on using that for your bio filter. It is too small. And yes the waterfall should add enough oxygen to the water. Mine does.
