Plumbing Layout

Hi again,
In the process of plumbing my 95g rr tank with sump/fuge.
I will be using 1 1/4" drain and 1" return with an Eheim 1260.

Should I tee off the drain to empty intop both the skimmer chamber and the fuge chamber? Does it matter?

Thanks

No, not necessarily. Assuming that your skimmer section precedes your fuge section, the drain can dump into the skimmer section and it will then move through your fuge before hitting the return section to be pumped back to your tank. That would certainly be sufficient.
