i agree, my return nozzles come in through a 3/4" bulkhead in my overflow and turn though the overflow top and aim down into the tank. my tank only drains about 1" - 1 1/2" of water from the display in a power outage.

i would place the returns just below the water level when the pump is on and make sure that your sump can handle the water volume that will drain when the power goes out.

do you have a pic of your overflow and sump ?? it would probably be easier to explain with a picture of your setup.
