Get a biger sump, and/or improve your overflow.
Your water level in the sump will drop when the pump is
running, and go back up when the pump is not. Does the
tank come close to overflowing, or does the tank water
level run at a normal level?

I have a Quietflow 600 hang on overflow box... supposedly it should take
care of 600GPh. Also I have pump that is pumping from sump to the tank,
it
is Dolphin DP 560. With 2' head loss the chart says it would output
460GPH.
So far so good, but the overflow doesn't seem to take 460gph quite well, I
get my sump's return area empty very quickly, this means one thing that
the
pump pumps faster than overflow can handle. Any thoughts on how to solve
this?
throttle the output side of the pump, or get another/bigger overflow.
