Multi tank system help

Hello I’m just here to see what you guys think about my plumbing. I have not done it yet but just here to see what you guys think. I have a 40g main display,40g equipment sump, 30g fug and a 36g frag tank. My plane was to have my main tank and frag tank drain and go through all the stages of my sump, then in the second to last chamber (the last being where water is pushed back up to the other two tanks) have a small 1200 maxi jet draw water and push over to my 30g fug. Then have my fug over flow into the last chamber of my 40g equip sump (where water is drawn from) what do you guys think about this?

The other option I thought about is my drain is two one inch bulk heads. I could make one go to the first section of my 40g sump and the other to the fug then my fug over flow to the first chamber.

Thanks in advance for any help.

first one sounds best to me, if you put water from fug right in where it has to go throu your skimmer you basiclly just going to take evrything out of the water your fug put in
