Is the skimmer going to be run externally, or does it have to fit in the sump? If the latter, it will rise up a little higher since it has to sit on the glass.

It will run externally, the over flow pipe is not complete yet. Waiting till the end of the week until rest of plumping supplies come and my friends brother is cutting me glass for the baffles in the sump. Im planning on 3 or 4 chambers.

yup will be run external. got all black plumbing for the tank except for the skimmer due to the odd size of pipe but we will paint it black with melevs best friend krylon fusion lol

this is how we plan to do the plumbing. will this work? also do we need to t the line directly to skimmer or can we just controler it with a ball valve

You have the right idea over all.
For the skimmer though, you have to put a Tee above the plumbing going to the skimmer. This is hard to make out, but you'll see the Tee in the plumbing up above the collection cup, and then some of the water flows across the sump. The reason you do this is so only pure water without airbubbles pours into the skimmer body.

If we T the line before the skimmer we will we get enough water flow from a 3/4 inch line?

Why are the drains 3/4"? Are the returns 1/2"?

where dose it say that? the drains are 2x 1" and 2x3/4 with 1 going to the skimmer. the returns is 1.5" untill it has to get made to 3/4 to go to the lockline

The drains are the larger holes, the smaller ones are the returns. So you have 1.5" drains and 1" returns.
From the drainline, you can branch off to the input of the skimmer which I'm guessing is the 3/4" size you referred to.
