Here's my submission:



Basically water flows in a "U" shaped pattern. I put an elevation sketch so you can see how the center baffle/partition works. The skimmer in theory could drain back over the center partition and back into the filter sock chamber. I use to run a sump just like this when I had my other tank set up. Works very well and can handle a lot of flow if required.
