With all due respect Oscar, I am not wrong and do see the big picture. I assure you, I fully understand the mechanics and dynamics of the sytem you propose and the system I designed and built.
If you have two weirs in a pond that has a constant inflow and the surface of the pond is agitated by wave action, then the amount of water flowing over each of the two weirs will vary over time. In your case, the the total flow is fixed by the return pump and the wave action is the flow in your tank.
