Say I can lower the water another couple inches max!, I'd only gain another 2.6g and would likely start drawing in air vortices and blowing microbubbles everywhere. Does my math make sense to you guys or are you thinking of something I am not?
I still think my only option is a new sump.

You can't be running that sump with the water level only 2" below the overflow? What's the water level height is that sump currently running at?
