Alrighty. But basically the same potential problems still exist, because any overflow can potentially clog and fail.

Also make sure your return piping won't siphon your tank back into your sump when power fails. If you want your return low in the tank, then drill holes in the piping just under the water line so that when the water level drops from back-siphoning, it sucks in water and breaks the siphon.
