Sump and Fuge

Using 2 overflow boxes, can I run my fuge and sump on seperate pumps? I'm thinking everything should balance out. This would be a nice way of increasing my water flow and go a long way in creating turbulence. I'm just not sure how efficient this would be. Any suggestions would be appreciated.


**EDIT**

The more I think about, the more it seems like a risky move. Maybe I'm wrong.

**EDIT AGAIN**

Forget it. The more I think about it. Water would be siphoning down into each tank at the same rate. And unless the 2 pumps were pumping at exactly the same rate, they would never balance out. Feel free to delete this garbage.
