If you tank is not drilled is this a good return from sump to DT? What if you were using pvc?

Something like that is nice to have, but you can make similar out of 3 elbows and some half inch pvc fairly easily.

you can also incorporate soft tubing with the pvc, just makes the outlet easier to place in the tank

that is ok for flexible tubing, but if your return is pvc, i'd suggest a 90, and some loc-line.
