Sump help + sealing

[olaywolay]

equipment wise: clarisea roller, red sea skimmer, jecod 8500 return pump, 2x heaters

roller in first compartment, skimmer + heaters in second, return pump in 3rd, unsure what the 4th is for…, i understand the return pump obviously connects to the return nozzle tubing but what else connects to what? theres a hose on the skimmer that im unsure what that connects to, and also dont know if the equipment will be in the right compartments, if anyone could just send pictures of their sumps, and give me a brief rundown that would be much appreciated, also what will need sealing? can i seal the return pump nozzles with silicon? one washer is missing and is there anything else i should be aware to seal tank/pipework wise, do apologise but sumps are real confusing! less

I've done some pretty complicated sumps but I've found simple is better. To be honest it looks like you're going in reverse order than what that sump was designed for. I would suggest you get in touch with whoever built it and see wht their reccomendations are for flow and equipment positions.
