Hoofman,
If there's one regret I have heard from several 'Pondies' it is wishing that they had run 2" pipe not 1.5".
Cheers

Will the two skimmer have identical pipe as you may find one working better than the other
Defiantly go with 2" pipe in not bigger and i am not 100% sure but you may need a bigger pump depending on the length of run.
