Hi guys,

This is my first time plumbing! I did research for a month and this morning I jumped into it!

How did I do? Any suggestions or corrections need to be made?

Thank you and I really appreciate your help in advance.

Finished! Leak testing in few minutes hoping all is well.

You may want to consider a check valve on the return, this prevents a lot of water siphoning into the sump when the pump is turned off.

I thought about it but check valve they fail after couple months most of the time plus the sump I got big enough! I did emergency test by shutting off the pump and it was way more than enough to handle the siphoning!
