Ok, what I need first.....
The first thing I need is a five foot sump that is drilled. That I can partition for my Euroreef, and leave room for a couple fish and rock. Any ideas ?
That sump will be for my 120g. Quite likely I'll eventually sell the 4' MH fixture, so you guys can keep that in mind. I knew this move would involve all three tanks....

Well you could get one of the UFA tub's like I am using and make eggcrate partition's. Poke holes where ever you want in it too.

I would put the skimmer in the first compartment and then have the flow from the tank and skimmer go through the fish and rock and then the intake for the pump return.

i would go..
Compartment one ( Very small) water drains into, Compartment 2 ( fish and soo on ) compartment 3 ( fits your skimmer) then a couple of baffels then your compartment 4 with the return.. just having the fish before the skimmer, you are going to geta lot of Microbubbles form the skimmer right? Not hte best for fish? unles you run the skimmer compartment and run a series of baffels to keep the micro bubbles out of the little fish compartment? mike

5' tank
Emily instead of a 5' tank could you use say use 3 smaller tanks (a 2' and 2-18") and then borrow Tony's hole driller and join them all together? There are always lots of smaller tanks available??

Well, I had to scrap the whole big sump thing for now. It would have been above the bottom of the main tank, (so there goes gravity flow). Need to take some time now, got a temporary tank set up for the fish I'm keeping out of the 155g, so everything else can stay as is for now.
