So I am in the process of an upgrade. Putting in a DSA 225 pro. It has 3 drains and 2 returns in the overflow box.

I was thinking of plumbing in a bean animal has anyone done this before in a overflow box?

Any dos or donts?

I have the dsa 105pro. It only had 2 drains and 2 returns. And I did it. Used one of the returns as the emergency. Tank is 2 yo now. It was my first build ever. Was super easy and dead silent. Don't have any pic on hand. But you actually have 3 drains. So no problem. The one thing I had to do is drill a small hole on the top of full siphon drain. To help remove the air trapped on start up. Works flawlessly. I even had a snail get stuck in the full siphon drain. The second drain kicked in and started full siphon when the water lever hit the airline. Then would make a loud flushing noise. Water started flowing down emergency drain. But could handle it easily. With this set up the chance of a flood never even enters my mind
