Running a sump and fuge

Tomorrow will start the day of my upgrade. I'm going from a 90g to a 125g. I have a 40g long sump that hold 20lbs of rock, reactor, skimmer, ATO, and algae scrubber. I was going to add a 20g long and turn it into a fuge. I'll have a return pump on both tanks. My question is do I need to add a ATO to both tanks or am I ok with my top off on just the one tank?

One on the main sump should do it.

The entire thing is one big system, so you only need to add water in one place and it will go everywhere.
