Your weir height will be 2.5" below the water height? You only want 1/4" or so of Skimming, the top surface of the water. Thats the whole reason for a overflow. the thinner the "skim" you can take off the top, the better. thats why I went with a Coast to Coast. Using All avail distance for skimming

And you can not take Linear surface and use it like Pipe area. Doesnt work that way.

Alright, so I got them to increase the linear size of the overflow to 22" linear now, so that should be pretty good to do 8x the empty tank volume per hour. That's not a bad amount and I'm sure the overflow can handle more if I need it to.
