OK this is my first post so be nice. I just started in saltwater and am already hooked (always had fresh water). My tank is a FOWLR 75 gal with 40 lb of live rock(low I know). I was sold a Prizm Pro skimmer, now I find out it was not the best choice, and am using a fluval 304 filled with live rock.I am planning on adding a reef in the future and want to get a sump working. I have read everything I can find and with the limited space I have come up this design using 2 acrylic 15 gal long tanks. Will this work using an overflow on the inlet and if not what else should I try. This tank is built into a wall and have no space under.

How big is the Over flow? Is there 2 drains?
If there are. Put one drain to the fuge and the other to the skimmer side of the sump. then use an Overflow from the fuge to the sump. A single 1" drain will work. Then return back to the tank
Is that what you're thinking? i can't really make out from the drawing.
