Doug does pretty work, but he makes it more complicated than it needed to be.
You have two, pressurized 1 inch / 1.5" pipes going into the display, and are only utilizing one, gravity Fed 1-in pipe for the return.
This is an issue. You need to be utilizing both your main and secondary drains on the bean animal. One 1 in pipe is not going to flow enough out, which is why you are backing up in the display.
Ideally, the flow in would be set and stationary first which means setting the pump at the number of watts needed and don't plan on changing it more than a watt without having to tune the gate.
Now that you have them switched, Open up that gate valve fully, and tune it like I outlined below.
I'd like to know where the water level is sitting in the display after, compared to now.
