Need a diagram for sure or picture (we can't see anything). It sounds like you have too much water able to be pumped up into your tank. You should have the return section of your sump hold a volume of water that is not enough to overflow your tank in case of drain failure. You sump should also be able to hold any water that will drain out in the case of return pump failure.
 
If tank is overflowing you dont have enough flow from tank to sump or return pump is too big for drain. Put a ball valve on return to tank and throttle it back till you achieve a balance of drain to return.
 
You need to have someplace on the Internet that you can post your pictures. Then you link to them here on the forum. Like google or something like that.
