i was also thinking of using the return line from my over flow but just curious if i can use two skimmer off of one return. i have seen the diagram for one but curious if i can make a y or t.
i am using a eheim 1262 for the return so approximately 650-700 gph on the return. i have a single corner overflow. havent done any plumbing on it yet

if there is 2 of them, i think they will be fine with the mj900's. i didnt want to replumb my drain, but i wanted to have only drain water entering my skimmer, so i put my feed pump in a kool-aid pitcher, and stuck it under my drain. the water has to flow over the top of the pitcher to enter the sump, but only straight tank water is sucked into the skimmer. its just like direct feeding.
