there are 2 overflows and each are plumbed sepretley

which means there is 2 1" pipes draining into my overflow.... and Mike, there is about 2" from the egg crating to were the water goes IN for the drain..... please let me know if you need me to be more thorough.

also, there is a lot of 90 deg. angles in the drain that my dad swaped out for 45s last night which gave it more of a slope

nope sorry Mike! i have a question. if i take 2" off the main baffle (which makes it 8") would that help to get more water to the pump side??

why not add more water to the sump. the easy way to do it is
turn on the pump until it sucks almost dry.
then turn off the pump let it go until the siphon breaks.
then see how much water you have left in the sump.
then add so more water to the sum to make it higher or keep it at asafe level.
