Hi gang, newer here but long story short i have a reefer 200 with a reefmat 500, I would like to add a 90 degree pipe off the reefmat and plumb it to the drain pipe. Any help would be appreciated. if i get this figured out i may try my hand at manifolding. My poor little sump is stocked full of stuff.

Not sure if the 500 uses the same sized plumbing as the 1200 (never owned a 500 before) but the 1200 can be substituted with one end of a union which allows for the use of pvc pipes like a 90 st elbow.

Example of a hardplumbed one and one utilizing the regular flexible hosing thats included pictured below.

not hard plumbed yet, i was thinking of just adding the 90 angle from the reefmat and then a 45 from the return. i really want to take out red sea flow knob for a better one, always tweaking that thing. thanks for the pics!

Yeah I have the same problem with the valve.
