Default Excluding the sump

Hi there, so you are suggesting that the best way to operate a skimmer is to take water directly from the display tank and return it there instead of doing that from the sump?

I know there is a distinct difference between having the skimmer in the tank with no sump as compared to having a sump with a 10 times turnover, it just isn't the same, the tank install though ugly will work better every time, explaining it is a different matter.
