It seems that you have them pretty deep in the tank. If the power goes out, those return lines will become siphons until air can break that siphon.

Have you tested this to ensure that your sump will be able to handle the extra capacity?

If your sump can not handle it, you can raise your return tubes higher.

Good Luck And Have Fun!!!;
You can also drill a 1/16" hole in the line just below the water surface which will break the siphon before much water leaves the display tank.
