Or is it just one big compartment with the filter socks and the skimmer together?
If it is actually two compartments, does the water flow into the skimmer section over the top of the divider or underneath?
Do you have a diagram of the sump? I am in the market for a sump but I want to make dang sure that I won't have the "waterfall" noise I have with my current one.

You are correct. It in reality is two compartments. The drain and the skimmer section are the same. Then it goes over and under a baffle into the return section. It is quiet, no waterfall action. I used that exact sump setup on my old 75g and it worked perfectly, with the drain and skimmer together. I will try to post a diagram or better pictures in the next day or two.
