Ok, I have an eshopps sump, aqeon pro flex 110 overfolow box, Aquatop swp-2600 return pump, & coralife super skimmer 125 which isn't the best skimmer on the market, but I'm happy with the performance. The sump has 3 chambers, so what I did is hung the skinner on the first & added a maxi jet 1200 for added circulation.(this is where I dose kalkwasser, zoo plankton, etc..& the added circulation really helps to mix it up. Second chamber is my refugium, where I have lr,& chaeto algae. Third chamber is return pump. Everything was very easy to set up. Hope this helps. Good luck
