hmm.. just got a quick sec here, just got up and I have to go back to work in an bit, but looking at the pictures of your build where I can realy see the sump, if I am right, you have your skimmer sucking off the chamber that you overflows spill into and returning to the middle.
When I set up a sump I set the skimmer up in a recirulation set up. so I suck off the last chamber and return to the first.
you will have problems doing this also because you made you last chamber so small. if it were my sump, I would redesign your second set of baffels and also move them to the right to give you a larger volume of water where you return pump draws from. maybe double the volume. then I would make your skimmer suck off the same chamber. and return to the intake of the sump.
