well after a little research I can answer my own question and if anybody else needs to know this information I will post it. This was found on the euro reef's website:
It is quite simple actually. Water is supplied to the skimmer by a separate feed pump or a tee off of the main system pump. Water returns to the sump via the outlet assembly which has a minimum height. This height varies from model to model so you will need to determine which model you are going to purchase in order to arrange the return plumbing. If the top of the sump wall is lower than the minimum height for the outlet assembly, you are good to go. Simply set the skimmer next to the sump and direct the return into it. If your sump wall is higher than the skimmer outlet, you will need to do one of two things:
1. Raise the skimmer so that it can drain freely into the sump.
2. Plumb through the sump wall to the skimmer outlet can be attached to it.
