ok I have the skimmer what next?

this is a photo of my new skeemer(350 needl wheel), I ll fix it on a sump I need your ideas.
if you look to the sump plan, is it ok to put skeemer bump in area No 3?
and I m planing to put another bump in area no 4 of the sump to send water to the show tank ,please advise me.
one last think is it ok to stop the air bump in the show tank because I have this skeemer and will mix the air with water.

Sure, area 3 is fine for the skimmer.

As for air pumps, I have never used one. The key to keeping the water oxygenated lies in keeping it moving. The more flow, the higher the dissolved O2 content will be.
