I understand what you're asking now and your plan is not very good. The skimmer and reactor should go in the sump, you can tee into the return line to feed them there while still having a separate line feed the tank. Putting them inline as you described will not work well and exposes multiple points of failure for lines to come off and will make maintenance more difficult. Your flow rate will also suffer and you should not increase the flow through the skimmer or reactor, they should remain consistent to what they are now.
