skimmer in first part, fuge/rock/sand/algae in the second, then the return pump in the thrid part.

I notice in your sig that you have a sump on the 120g tank. Most folks put the refugum in the sump. Can you not do that with yours? I bet we could figure it out.

Fuge should come before the skimmer so the skimmer doesn't take out some nutrients the fuge needs.
