Been doodling around thinking of a sump/fuge design. Here's what I've come up with. Critiques welcome.

Another plaguing issue I'm trying to understand is the pumps. A 650gph will
be running water through the chiller and into the skimmer. A 900gph will be the return pump. Is this a problem? Can you have different size pumps or will the larger pump drain the sump? The overflow is rated at 600gph.
