    I would just use an overflow box.
    Does water always taste like salt and poo????

    Place your protien skimmer in the sump. If you read the directions it should tell you what it's prefered dept is. Let's say 6 to 8 inches. I would place the bulkhead 6 to 8 inches from the bottom. Or the middle of the waterline (7inches) With bulkheads on both sides (Sump and Fuge) connect the 2 with your choice of tubing\piping. Only change I would make is where water enter the fuge I would add 3 baffles. Water out of the protein skimmer will add microbubbles. This would also be a great place to add so liverock debris. I am not an egspert just my 2c
