Warrren--if you look at my sump system(yeah again)
If I lower the sump to a bottom shelf and place another refugium where the sump is now---IMO I won't need the skimmer anymore.

The water will first enter the mud refugium--then by gravity overflow into the sump/live rock---then return to the tank.
entering the sump will also be the gravity feed from the other refugium(for the reason of adding inverts etc to the main tank)

I think you are basically setup now--with the 50gal tank underneath the ninety--I would be tempted to add some mud and mangroves to that one.
