2 pumps on 1 bulkhead? Ok or no?

Darts can be fed with 1 1/2 bulkheads on closed loops easily because of the head pressure available, drawing from a sump however is slightly different, the higher the sump level and the greater the surface area will help in making this work fine.

I would go for it.

the surface area really has nothing to do with the pressure of the water at the suction, it is all hight. that is my concern as most sumps are not that tall and we don't run them full so the suction head is going to be small. now if he had a 24" tall sump and ran it at 23" I would say most likely it would work, but that is unlikely.
