With regards to the herbie, do you have your ATO yet? Are you testing the herbie with the skimmer running? Those things will affect your herbie as well so trying to get it perfect right now might simply be a fun time killing exercise at the moment :-) Honestly I would not worry about getting it just right. That can come later. Instead, dial it so that the water level is low and near the main drain or high and near the emergency drain. You'll get some gurgle but who cares right now. You're not done with all the other stuff that needs to go into the sump (ATO, skimmer, refugium media, filter socks, etc). All that stuff can affect your herbie and it is when all that stuff is installed that you should really worry about trying to dial it in just right. Or you can keep playing with it and frustrating yourself ad nauseam :-)

Tested the sump capacity with skimmer and the nozzles dipped to the same level as the return hole. There's just too much water (possibly around 10+ gallons) till the water level goes below the return line so my sump cannot hold the water
This is the 2nd sump I got. For some reason; I am having really bad luck with this thing too
