1 Sump with 2 return chambers?

Anyone have a diagram or picture of a sump with 2 seperate return chambers with a seperate return pump in each chamber?

this will be quite hard to dial in and maintain any type of full syphon drain.
what are your thoughts on the benefits of this???
having a spare pump sitting around would be much more beneficial IMO

Wouldn't a single return chamber with two pumps be easier to implement? One ato can handle both. Since you are already sharing water (assuming two tanks or tank and detatched fuge/dsb/etc)

What are you trying to achieve?

Agreed, is there a reason for making this more complicated than it needs to be?

Nope, after re-thinking, you guys are absolutely correct.
