Fuge placement inside sump

[FishyFishy!]

I've got my sump all torn down, and i'm awaiting the rebuild. But I was thinking it over yesterday, and I'm not sure that this fuge is best where I initially had it. My return pump is a Mag24 (2400 GPH). THe setup that I currently have, is the filter socks, then fuge, then return section. I think that the fuge will not benefit from such high flow levels through my sump. So I'm thinking of making the fuge on the far right, in a seperate section, fed by my manifold. This way I can tune down the flow with a ball valve from my manifold. Any Ideas?
