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.

Ohh my sump has a few flaws for sure.... Its not "ideal" but it will have to do... at one time i had the skimmer running direct from an overflow..... but it didnt pan out....
Its running off the return now and thats that.... to be honest with the two clowns and the few corals..... it hasnt even made it yellow yet nevermind any green or cake.... my water is crystal and very little if any wast ATM.... and the skimmer will eat anything that goes in there but it isnt ideal I know.... This is my first "kick at the cat" so to speak so Ill be happy figuring out what all this does and make it work 75%..... the next build ill have some background behind me and it will work alot better

You have a bunch of live rock in there, you should be getting skimmate...maybe it isn't dialed in ideally? Could you take a pic of the skimmer froth? Take it so we can see the water in the skimmer, the froth, and the cup if you can (and you want to lol).
