Since i have a dual Herbie overflow, i am trying to figure out if all 4 drains should be routed to left side of my sump where the skimmer will be? And do they all need their individual piping to that area?

I have a traditional type 3 chamber sump. Pic attached.
Thanks!!!!

Away from skimmer. Will create microbubbles and ineffective foam refraction. However, if water is running into filter socks, you may get away with doing so in same chamber.

Yes i will have them running into filter socks and keep the pvc pipe fairly low to the sump water level so as to minimize bubbles. I can always put the skimmer in the middle slot i think??
