I think I would quickly plumb the overflow to the far right chamber with the RS-80. This will put your dirtiest water right in the skimmer chamber. I would then put the return in the far left chamber ensuring that the return is as far away from the sources of microbubbles as possible.

But other than a float valve with an auto top off the sump will evaporate. That's the problem I am having right now, my sump cracked and I have it currently replaced with just a tank. I ether need to do just that and ad an auto top off, add baffles to keep the skimmer area at a constant level.. or top off manually twice a day (pain in te *** and I really don't want to keep doing that)
anyhow.. not to Hijack the thread.

I decided to move the skimmer pump into chamber 2 for now. It (just) fits. For a cheap-and-easy solution until I have time to replumb/replace my sump. I just need some 3/4" ID tubing and I'm set. I'd replumb right now, but it is a Chinese-made tank, and all the plumbing is weird metric sizes, which I can't find anywhere -- I'm not ready for a project of that scope today.

So, that seems to have worked. I have a nice arc of foam going from 2->3 now, and it seems fine.
Thanks for all the comments. I don't seem to have a micro-bubble problem, either, so I might leave it as-is for a while. I think I'll take a photo and ask for further critique.
