in sump placement of mce600 am i ok here? pic included

I am worried about the intake and out being isolated on the right side. Is this something i need to adjust? I have around 2,000lph coming into that chamber so is it safe to assume it's all mixing up and making it's way out efficiently regardless of the placement? Thanks!

options i was considering: moving the down tube to the back area of the mce600, not sure i have enough length though..

Some might say you'd be re-skimming clean water- therefore lessening the efficiency of the skimmer. Personally, I think you are fine.

Unless you have a gravity fed skimmer and exacting gph measurements through your sump, then this is hard to regulate anyway.
