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

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.

Now that you have made changes to the drains... try filling up the sump to the height of the baffles and let her fly hopefuly the drain problem is fixed.... but the problem is definately in the drains and nowhere else!

ok, so it WAS the drains... i took the upsidedown J out of the overflows and just left it as a straight stick like this.
 and YAY! it keeps up with the pump!!! the pump is wide open and it works great BUT it is VERY noisy.... how can i stop this without effecting flow?
