True, but there is only one overflow section on the tank, and that's on the right side. So the water will come in from and return to the tank from the same area. Pics will be posted on Saturday once the whole unit is set up

So I'm having a really hard time dealing with the fact that I couldn't fit a fuge system in there. But then I realized that I have to do some more brain work, but I think I'll place the skimmer outside behind where the fuge is (now the large, middle compartment) and have the water flow through there instead. So:

Intake -----> Fuge Setup ------>Return

That should work
