Overflow Question

[JMorris271]

Hello Guys

My BA is being made with a dual corner overflow system. I want to put my skimmer on the right side of my cabinet where I think traditionally the return is placed . Into this chamber, I want to run the open channel and full siphon drain.
inside the left chamber, I want to have the Emergency drain and the return line. Any ideas out there as to why I can't do this successfully?
Thanks

Ummm, you may have better results if you ask this in the Saltwater forum. I don't know of any reason you would be using a skimmer in a freshwater tank, so the only folks with experience on the matter would be the salties

Not sure I'm picturing this properly.

So in 1 chamber you want the primary drain and skimmer.

In the second chamber you want the emergency overflow and return pump correct?

I fail to see any problem if this is a salt water tank. Skimmers don't work for fresh though.

Sorry for the misplaced post. It should have been in saltwater.
