skimmer water into fuge?

Can my skimmers outlet supply my fuge? So it'll go skimmer -> fuge -> sump. Is that ok? All 3 are seperate from each other.

that sounds good to me..you want you skimmer to get the water first..or you could drain into both areas at the same time and have them end up in pump section..-Drew

It's going to drain into 2 places. The skimmer and the sump into a sock. Then the skimmer will drain into fuge and into the sump.

That is how mine is set up and I don't have any issues. my flow is slow so no issues with microbubbles into the pump area
