Them I try a different one but it was to strong for overflow to Keep up

use The larger one . cut in some valves in your supply line(s) this way you can tune your supply rate of flow

Ok I got 2 extra valves let me try that way

I try valves and after adjusting still slow flow

How about some pictures of the plumbing and overflow box? Tank brand and drain pipe size? This will give you a baseline as to what can be achieved and handled.

I use a jebao dcp-8000 for a 100 gallon and an 80 gallon tank, flow is fine with that. Try wavemakers/powerheads for in tank flow.

What's the pump that's in there? Looks like a mag pump not the hydro DC pump that you asked about above. I'd say try opening the valve in the last picture almost completely, then if the sump return empties to quickly, then dial that valve back a bit.
If all of this came from Lucas, and he had epic SPS growing in there something else is wrong.
