    Water Circulation Question

    skimmer placement in sump

    I'm slowly stocking up on equipment before buying a tank. I just bought a sump that has a small intake area that leads into a larger fuge area. From there it goes into a medium size return area that could hold the skimmer and return pump. After reading up a little more I agree with others that...
