Why not tee off the main drain and have it go to the fuge? Just make sure you pop a valve on there to control the amount of flow going to the fuge

If the 2nd chamber is going to overflow to the middle chamber, you will have a micro bubble problem with that water dumping onto the return pump. I would add a baffle setup. And I agree with Mike. Just tee off of the drain line to feed the fuge. That way you don't need that extra Lil pump.

I like your T off idea for the Fuge supply. Thank you boyce. There will be a little sumpin' extra in your pay envelope at the end of the week.

I'll have to explore a baffle for the pump chamber.

I got this design from Melevsreef.com...

Fuge overflows through teeth on the left into the return chamber in the center. Skimmer chamber on the right through baffles to the common return area. LR in fuge and return area. Sorry for the crappy pic. You'll see better on Melev's site... HTH
