Dark Pipe is pumped from the sump.
Red Pipe is going to sump.
Flow from display tank is dropped into the left chamber of sump, we'll call this dirty water. The dirty water will be pumped out of this chamber into the fuge and skimmer for nutrient export. Hopefully I can move a lot of the water through the fuge to feed the pods and macros. The outflow from the fuge and skimmer (clean water) drops into the far right chamber where the return pumps feed the clean water to the display. I'm currently thinking to not process the fuge outflow as I'd like the pods to be returned to the display as food. The center of the sump will process the left over water that doesn't make it to the fuge or skimmer. This area may end up being the home for the macros if I can't keep flow high enough in the fuge to keep them growing and exporting.
Does this flow pattern make sense?
