yes the middle is the fuge its nice has a light for it also a 13w pc. the sump is where the skimmer goes and along the bottom of the back to the return pump.
one thing about this tank i like i dont have to replace the pump that came with the tank. it has alot of flow 475gph you can adjust it so that some of it goes into the fuge and then it runs into the main display. i did add a mj1200 on the other side of the tank thats all the upgrades i have had to do so far.
here are some pics of the set up

nice tank i got the same thing. one upgrade im thinking about is swapping the stock ph to a 1200 mj on the skimmer.

Im also thinking about plugging the holes on the bottom of the tank into the skimmer chamber. Cant find the time to actually do it. I think it will help to get more scum out of the water, since only the top oily water will enter the chamber.

Nice looking setup. Pics are a little blurry though. Maybe a tri-pod?

Very nice setup. I told my wife I wanted to set up a nano to go along side my 120g, she wasn't overlly impressed. She said if I do, it's her or the fish....I'm going to miss the old girl...lol
