Thoughts on setup

So I'm building my new system...
I built a new stand and made it a bit higher for viewing pleasure.
My current return pump will not be sufficient enough to create enough current/water movement in the tank due to the larger tank coupled with the higher stand

Having said that, I was wondering about the following setup.
Keep in mind, the flow-through ratewould be slow and I would be adding power heads/ Closed loop to create necessary water movement in the tank.

I was thinking of the following benefits
a) Since an effective fuge needs slow flow for macro to grow
b) Since i don't want pods to go through the return pump and get mulched
c) maybe the slower flow through the sump might give the skimmer time to really do a good job on new water entering

What do you guys think?

Soriano, so many opinions so many possibities lol, my fuge is slow flow, but it is lit 24/7, so I guess you will tell by how much skimmate and what you tank does, the slow return rate will lessen the amount of detrius exported from the display so with extra flow from p/h' s you may see some suspension.
