Don't use the fuge as a sump...run it as a seperate tank, with slower flow that "feeds" fuge and over flows to the sump where it is pumped back to tank...
Slower flow can come from a line "Td" off the return line (portion of return flow) or a small pump to fuge
If fuge is below tank with sump...return fuge overflow to sump...
If fuge is above main tank...return fuge to tank...

I'm new at saltwater fish tanks and was just woundering what "fuge" is.

Here is my setup .. i have a 20 long feeding a 90g display tank. I have my flow to the fuge at about 20g per hour.. You want the flow much slower than to your display.
You can use the same pump you have going to your display.. All you need is a T splitter and a ball valve to regulate the second feed.. here is some pics

Actually overflow on the bulkhead but ultimately yes.. If the sump was higher than the bulkhead on the fuge this setup wouldnt work.
O misread your post.. no it drains to the sump.. but in front of the skimmer and bio balls... I dont want to skim water which is returning from the fuge.
