I believe that both are air drain lines, so you would use a pump to suck the air out of the unit to both start your siphon and prevent air from breaking the siphon. Their description is :
Dual air draining tubes design - can be connected to the marine sources skimmer dual air silencer dual nipple. The air can be sucked out faster and safer.

So I believe what you could do is use an aqua lifter pump to maintain your siphon on one nipple and cap off the other one.

ok thanks , i wasnt sure what the skimmer bit meant,
could i run both nipples via a "T" piece to a venturi on a powerhead?

I dont see why not although it may occasionally cause micro bubbles on you.
