Phil, first figure out what type of overflow boxes to get, You should have 2 overflows out of your display tank going to the sump with the skimmer. From that sump you can have 1 submersible pump to return the water to the display, and in the return line install a pvc Y and a valve going to the fuge. With the valve you can adjust the water flow to the fuge. Get one more overflow box to overflow water from the fuge back to the begining of the skimmer sump. The display will need to be the highest tank. You can leave the fuge on the iron stand. You should however move the skimmer sump below the main tank. Just make sure that the skimmer sump is lower than all other tanks so water will gravity feed to it.
