Working on my first tank and at first I was going the Filter Sock Route but realized how nice it would be to not change socks on a weekly basis.
Tank is a 40 Gallon Breeder.
Currently looking at the Clarisea Sk-5000 as an option. Most videos I see have it plumbed from the Main Line Drain. When I read the mounting and installation options on BRS, which kinda reads like a Dr.Seuss Book, I see that it can be freestanding.
So does it require to be plumbed off the Mainline Drain? Only asking because I don't like the idea of only 1 drain feeding into and the other drain overflowing with no mechanical filtration.

Mounting & Installation Options:
- Hang it on the back, front or sides of the most sumps.
- Freestanding on the base of a shallow sump with a water level below 200mm.
- Freestanding it on a box or shelf in deeper sumps.
- Feed it from the front or from the back.
- Feed water from the top, side or at an angle.
