It can take a lot longer for air to come out of them.

Does your full siphon drain exit under the water in the sump so air cant go up it?

Yes it does! Drains are all working a1, 99% quiet! Ill fiddle with the pump output, and see if that'll do the trick.
 
Do you have water trickling out of the second drain at all times? Or is it dry?

of there is no water coming from the second drainyou are probably breaking the siphon on the primary drain

Yes, I have the gate valve set to allow the water to trickle down the secondary drain. I adjusted pump power and water level has stayed perfectly on the line I drew for reference.

Very happy to have that figured out, stay tuned for more dumb questions haha. Thanks everyone! :)
