I'm guessing it's a due so overflow, you should be able to just pull the standpipe in the overflow out to check the stand pipe for clogs

If there's no clogs in the stand pipe, remove your flex line completely and check that, if that doesn't solve it pull the pvc pipe that goes from the flux hose into the sump out and clean that


If you do all that you'll have you're system running normally in no time

Your drain pipe maybe too deep in side your sump. Raise it a little higher. Keep it 3" or less below water.

Thanks for everybody's help!
Great to see everybody looking out for this fellow reefer!

The cause of all the trouble was a snail trapper deep in the pipes, took a few things apart and with the help of a buddy we sucked that sucker out!
