unless you are going to have the pump 8' from the tank via PVC, you will have too much flow for that overflow. Remember the overflow has to overcompensate a bit or you'll overflow the aquarium... of coarse you could get a ball valve and you'd be all set. Or a slightly smaller return pump, or as slightly larger overflow.
