Not sure I understand your question.
I used to have a fuge in one of the chambers with some algea and a light over it.

A sump as in an external tank?
The point of that type is not needing a sump. I have a 28 with no sump. Just run with the wavemaker and an MP10.

I have media chamber with filter floss, chaeto, and sometimes carbon

How did that work out for you? I just looking for better results. I can't buy coral I really want- never do well

The JBJ wave maker? Is the MP10 worth the money?

I'm also looking to upgrade my skimmer maybe that will help as well

Yes the JBJ one, it alternates between the 2 pumps. For me yes the MP10 is worth it, need the flow, and other powerheads are too big IMO

I actually drilled mine, and put a 10gal sump under my cabinet. I liked the jbj look, but i wanted a sump to put all the other equipment. I also have an mp10 and a koralia for water movement. I keep my mp10 speed low and selected random lagoon setting, so for added movement i added a small koralia, forgot which one i have, but it's small.

My tank is set up, so I don't think I could drill. Can you put a video or pictures up.

I know the bulk head is suppose to point out, but for my purpose i had to do it this way.

Water only stays in the inner chamber, so if the drain ever gets clogged, it will spill in the outer chamger

My tank, my camera sux, but my tank is much more colorful, most of the corals have blue and green tips

This on of the returns, i use a mag 7 (too powerful for my set up)for my return pump.

I have two tanks attached

Hopefully you have an idea. Its homemade so it doesn't have the professional look, but in my opinion doesn't look bad. My next upgrade will be ai sol super blue just like thirty5
