Your overflow can only handle about 600 gph So once you calculate head pressure etc anything over that to the tank will run your pump dry. I have a 75 gallon and 30 gallons working water in my sump... I have mine T'd off twice One to the fuge and one back to the sump. If I close both valves my pump runs dry. 3-5 x's turnover is what was recommended to me...
