    The idea in the 'fuge being on the outside with the return in the middle is to allow for a slower flow through the 'fuge than the rest of the sump. Now I currently don't have a real big flow through it anyway, but with a larger return pump/overflow that'll change, but I can still keep a lower flow moving through the 'fuge.
    Learned this from Melev....
