Skimmer in Sump help.

[nellecat]

I want to put my skimmer in my sump and its capable of being in it. But I don't know where to place it or how to run it effectively. If you could maybe give me a link to a diagram or help me out so I get the full use that would be awesome!
Thanks

Alot would depend on the setup of your sump as to the most efficient location of placement...

Well I have an area for where the overflow runs thens their is a divider and the refugium and then a divider then the pump pumping it back up.

The section where the overflow dumps into would be best and ideally you should have the Skimmer output into the next section so it doesn't re-skim water.

There are many ways to do this... It would be helpful to show a picture of your current sump like ct_vol said to help identify the best location for the skimmer. Generally speaking, it goes in the same compartment as your drain with baffles separating the next compartment.
