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

Re: skimmer line filtration
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.
