Good evening guys,

I just bought a 80 gallon rimless tank with a synergy overflow that has 3 pipes. I was planning on buying the Eshopps ADV-100 but my only issue is that it only has one intake for the water from the tank. Is there a way to convert that model to two intakes or what would be the best way to plumb it? I want the main and backup pipe to go to the sock compartment and the emergency pipe to any of the other chambers. What do you guys think. Your help will be greatly appreciated thank you.

Probably your best bet is to get the R-200 what comes with 2 drains and put the emergency in the skimmer section.
Or maybe you can drill and add a bulkhead on the lid covering the filter sock.
 
Drilling the lid cover would probably be your best bet...or just removing it. If you do drill it though, you'll want to put a union just above it so that you can easily remove the lid for changing out that sock.
