sump setup

Perhaps but I don't believe the skimmer in question is that sensitive and it would take about 2min to dial it in to match the power head and with a proper manifold you'll never have to reset it. And worst case he'll still have the maxi-jet so no money is wasted.

Using a single return pump to feed multiple pieces of equipment is very common practice. It certainly would make more sense here given the size constraints.
