So going forward my suggestion is fix the baffle first, you could lower it or raise the overflow height but it's not ideal. The baffle should be replaced with some form of screen. I can help you out here, build you a replacement and send it your way.
If you're unable to reduce the water drop from the display to something your sump can handle as is then I suggest you ditch the built in refugium and remove it's divider, use that space to extend the return pump section which should add quite a bit of empty running volume.
