What about if your were to put two pumps that were exactly alike on the inlet and outlet of the skimmer. What would happen then??

If your not running a sump why not just get a hang on skimmer like a PM HOT-1 or a Remora Pro or a Lifereef HOT?

Two exact pumps won't take into account back pressure, head pressure, discrepency in manufacturering, changes in amps applied, variations in viscosity, random particates and buildup in the pump, etc.

Unless you can account to the millileter the amount of volume that will be displaced due to these variations, and unless you can ensure that this volume remains completely static, it won't work.

I already am running a Remora Pro I just want a "real" skimmer, I am moving soon so I geuss I will get a new drilled tank. I just dont like over flows.

Can't be done unless the skimmer were to sit on top of your tank. Not a pretty picture. A skimmer cannot pump water back up from your stand to the tank because of the back pressure. Sorry.
