Getting a used 180 and it has a dual corner overflow. I really want to use roller mats but I see most of them only have a single input. Besides using two, is there any way to use a filter roller with two overflows? If not, is there at least a way to make changing socks less frequent?
 
Hmm good question. I will be running a 3 drain overflow on my new build. Currently I have a single drain with a clarisea 5000. I think I will run the main drain to the filter roller and all the other drains straight into the sump. A tiny trickle bypassing the filter roller shouldn’t impact performance much. Plumbing two drains into one so flow from both can go through the filter roller defeats the purpose of having them separate.
