All thanks for the words of encouragement. Here are my plans.
1) Run two new independent circuits, tied into my sub panel for the generator to the tank.
2) make sure each pump is on a different circuit.
3) larger sump
4) re-adjust lock line returns so that they are closer to the surface of the water.
5) put small stand to elevate pumps approx 6 inches up from bottom of stand.

that should take care of the issues, now I just have to wait for the new sump to get done and then get to work. Still cleaning, looks like I am going to have to pull the rock out a little at a time to scrub the bubble algae off.... nasty stuff and spreads like wild fire.
