I'd be cutting the good side out of one and adding it to the other Run a pipe over top instead of drilling it

Will a snapper be able to create enough suction to pull water up 4" and over the glass??

Ya, but you'll need to prime the plumbing first. It depends on the setup on how best to do that.

If possible, you could siphon from the display. Attach a hose to the intake to suck on, and get the water back flowing, then turn on the pump. Build it as a U so that it goes up, over and into the sump and it will stay primed when you turn the pump off.
