I second this idea.

Another idea would be to add another 'pipe' (maybe 2 more) for water to flow from the fuge into the sump. That would require drilling though...

I would not use a pump to move water from the fuge to the sump since the incoming fuge water volume is subject to change. That could leave the fuge with too much or too little water.
