Hey, I had upgraded to a IM 50 INT at the start of the year.
It has 3 drains for a Bean Animal drain, but since I had the filter roller I did not want to use the middle drain and I ended up just plugging that, and using the main drain with a gate valve that’s plumbed into my reef mat 500. The emergency drain I just have going into the sump. I kind of regret this since the water with detritus is bypassing all of the other filtration and going into the sump.
When I reset up my tank. Should I use the secondary drain and attach it to the other side of the filter roller? Or should I just plumb the emergency into the filter roller. I’m fine just using the drains I have (basically a Herbie drain).
I just prefer not to use 3 drains especially if 2 are going into the roller mat since it take up a lot of space.
