hey everyone,

how should i go about plumbing my sump?

-should i just use PVC pipe for the whole return pipe? and just use elbows for the curve i will need at the top.
-and what size pipe do you suggest i use for the return pipe(diameter wise)?

Yes and Yes.

As far as the diameter of the tubing, look at the instructions for the pump you have selected. It will tell you what size PVC to use.
