Been running Bean overflows for years and all my tanks are operated with this system in conjunction with C2C overflows.

About to plumb a 180 g frag tank to my 200 g display however, and it so happens that the tanks are approx 20 feet apart( the frag tank will be located in the garage)
Since the nature of running a Bean requires(for optimal/ideal performance) a straight drop into the sump, I'm unable to 90 the standpipes from each tank into one common sump. My solution was to have three sumps: one to accept each set of standpipes, and then plumb the two "standpipe sumps" into one shared common sump.

If anyone has attempted this or has any thoughts, please advise!
