Ok my co-junior-master......your overflow and return (anything going to your sump) you want as high on the tank as possible.

Your closed loop can be anywhere. There will be no worry about any back siphoning in case of a power outage.

Your objective is to allow as little water to flow out of the tank in the event of the eventual power outage as possible. Then you want to make sure your sump has enough space in it to allow it to receive all the back siphon that your overflow and return will take from the tank.

Not sure if this is clear or not, but we can talk more about it.
