ok guys im still seeking help on this project.

i really like Lucy's setup and plan to emulate a lot of it. im thinking i can either split off some flow from my overflow box, or drill a new hole just for the skimmer in the overflow box. which of the 2 would you recommend?

then have a pump or powerhead in the sump (or inline) sucking the return from the bottom of the skimmer. this will let me make my skimmer about 3 feet high.

im still looking into making an airstone and stuff... so what do you guys think so far?
