Here is just a guess: If your tank's height is 26" and if the teeth of your overflows are 1" high, the amount of water going to your sump will be 1/26 (.03846) of 120 gallons or roughly 4.615 gallons. Now if it is 1.5" high then it will be 1.5/26 (.057692) of 120 gallons or 6.92304 gallons. These numbers are then added to the estimated volume of water that the overflow boxes will hold... (i completely forgot about that..)
