I am planning to setup my first saltwater, I have gotten my hands on a 60 gall cube and ESHOPPS Prodigy with two drains hole for the aquarium and it can be arranged in bean animal configuration. I am planning to use ESHOPPS RS-75 as sump but I noticed it has only one drain inlet.

My question is how do I configure bean animal with one drain in sump ? Also, am I overkilling it with overflow for a 60 gallon ? Should I switch to Medium overflow ? By the way I'll be drilling my tank to fit overflow tank, so I should consider even if I need to drill one hole or two for overflow , dont want to overkill it for no reason

Put the full syphon to the socks. The secondary and backup can be dropped anywhere in the sump considering that 95%ish of the flow will go through the full syphon downpipe.

Yes, The main goes to your socks and the "emergency" goes anywhere in your sump. Submerge that tube a bit below the water level to keep it quiet. If you are using an ATO in your sump, it might be easier to tune if the overflow if it is not in that area
