Sump information

Can someone explain to me what goes where in this sump and what I need to buy. I’ve always used canister filters so this is new. I have a sicce 5.0 return pump and a protein skimmer. I can attach more photos if needed.

It LOOKS like the drains (where water enters the sump) are as circled below… water would then (I think) go clockwise from there…

It’s very hard to say for sure without a side view of each side of this particular sump!

The easiest way to determine what goes where is to keep in mind that a sump moves water via gravity only… water cascades from the highest chamber to the lowest… usually you can follow the intended flow path just by looking at how water moves under, over, and through all the plastic baffles to flow downhill! (Though it is harder when the sump is built with both front and rear chambers, vs. 2D!)
