Hi you can but how big is your skimmer? Your skimmer might take up a big portion of your sump. But you can put some simple baffles made from plexi glass. It goes like this, the water from your tank comes down into a chamber with the skimmer then it goes into the middle chamber with the refugium, then the last chamber will be the smallest with your pump and heater in it.
