Lastly do you run a check valve on your return lines.

actually if you want less water to return to the sumpif the power shuts off you would want the drain higher! also remember that the return line will also syphon water back if the power shut off. to fix this drill a small hole below the water line so it will suck air and break the syphon. and no ignorance everybody had these questions at one point. I miself do not run check valves they add unnessisary head pressure restricting flow
