warr40 is on a distinguished road
very crowded 5.5g sump

hey i decided to add a sump to my 5.5g reef
the sump will contain
-CSS 65 skimmer
-600 GPH overflow box
-200 GPH return
-small fuge

the sump is going to sit rite behind the display so i hung the overflow box over both the display and sump so no need for piping.....just on the return

i'm not sure if the 200 GPH pump will work with the 600 GPH overflow so i'm going to have to test it

here are some pic i took before siliconing










^^^u can see in this pic on the left of the bubble trap is the return and on the right of it is the small 4" fuge



As u can see in some pic the return of the skimmer sits inside the overflow box I hope that will work

**the tank and sump will be back to back**

as u can see the overflow box is "inside" the sump

the box will remain the way it is with no bulkhead or nothing

my question is will the box work properly if the water level in the sump is higher than the hole b/c the water level will be where the first baffle is
