DIY Sump Questions

[coraline79]

Villjr was so kind as to give me a sump and I have cleaned it up, and am in the process of plumbing. I have been reading many article on sumps, and I have read that it is a good idea to tee off the drain and run pre-skimmed water into the fuge and into the skimmer chamber. Is this a good Idea? I was thinking of running the baffled chamber(right) with the skimmer, the left chamber as the fuge, and the center as the return w the submersible pump. Does this make sense?
