Return pump must match the overflow rate or it will give you nothing but issues.

And no I can't seen the pics other then the one with the sump & turtle.

Thats wat I thought. I was thinking 300gph return pump for the 3 ft tops its gota push water up...ive got a pro 3 pump giving too me not sure rating tag is wore off can't find any where I assume it's 300 gph from the 3 I tested it and it dont push water out took hard its pumping tho lol..what you think??and could a ball valve slow the flow from return pump if needed

You could go with a pump that is rated for more by I would use a gate valve over a ball valve as you will need to do some fine tuning to make sure the overflow does not overflow.
