Nope. Although, hard plumbing (PVC piping) for the drain line will be a plus. More secure as it's less likely to leak.
Overly dramatic, maybe. But the OP will definitely want to bang his head against the wall if he tries using two Fluvals. ;)

God I hate that. As bad as that is (and it's terrible), worse are the ones who are trying to sell stuff and only use a crappy camera phone with just...
Very wise words.
No. Buy an eShopps PF-300 overflow. I have one and it is a flawlessly designed overflow. Inexpensive too.
You must use a gravity fed overflow. You can get away with one canister filter as your return pump, but if you are trying to use two canister filters...

You need to clean the impeller. A good overnight soak in distilled white vinegar, then a quick clean with a toothbrush, and you should be good to go....
Looks like Cerith snail eggs to me too. Here's a pic of some I had on an empty Mexican Turbo snail shell.
Couldn't have described it better myself. I've been there, feeling like the blood is draining from my body, mind racing trying to figure out what to...
Here's the link to the calculator: REEF CALCULATOR - English And I also recommend Bulk Reef Supply for dosing supplies.
Dwarf Cerith snails or Florida Cerith Snails should work. John Maloney from ReefCleaners.org would be who I would get them from if you can't get them...
You should run your lights differently. The blues should go on first and shut off last, so 12-10 for the blues (actinics) and 1-9 for the whites...
