The way I am planning my setup it will be exactly as you describe. I am unsure as well....

The thought is I wonder if it would be better for copepod production to have a gentler flow. So I was going to send about half and half to skimmer and fuge, then have a powerful return pump (and use a herbie to try and cut down on the overflow noise). Because I would be using herbie, I was going to have the full siphon going into the two sections, and have two gate valves (one for each split output) so i can control not just the herbie flow amount, but how much is going in to each section.

The advantage to this as well is that I can put a filter sock on the return going into the skimmer area, but no sock on the one into the fuge. Allowing easier pod transport between the display and fuge.

My fear is the flow will be too low in both sections.....

With that said, none of this is reality, still planning.
