It takes a lot. Asked over and over, is this all good before ordering. Then found out the skimmer is too big and almost no one has experience with fleece rollers. HOB fuge was not my first choiceMan I must say, there is a lot going on in this picture lol.
I understand. I'll be honest, I don't understand fleece rollers. I've got one that just sits there and collects dust because I prefer a filter sock tbh. But I must say, I am very impressed with the amount of tech and complexity you have in the small space. Any chance you have a full tank shot you can share?It takes a lot.

Interesting. Why prefer it over filter socks?Fleece rollers are awesome when working correctly. The components can be touchy if you yank on any wires. Too much water in the sump and you lose a $25 roll. The do stink a bit as well. Imagine having a filter sock laying out in the air. But the technology is new. I still would choose it over filter socks. Trigger has been VERY helpful.
Love the big container. I want to implement something like this in the future.
Did you have any trouble when drilling the glass on the aqueons?
Not on the larger ones, they are pretty easy to drill. Ive drilled many 10, 20, 40, 75 and 180 gallon aqueon tanks. The only ones I had trouble with are the 10 gallon because the glass is so thin that it can crack if you put too much pressure.Did you have any trouble when drilling the glass on the aqueons?
For the roller, I like being able to leave it for a month or two before changing. That makes weeklong vacations easier for my tank sitters. I also like less maintenance for me.Interesting. Why prefer it over filter socks?
How long do you typically leave things in the acclimation box?
Love the plank autofeeder
My Tideline 36 sump (roughly 40 gallons) for my 120 gallon 4x2x2 tank.
So far I’m only running a ClariSea SK3000 G3 filter roller for export, but I just started the tank last week. I’ll soon be starting up a refugium, and I have a protein skimmer on standby if I need it.
I had originally planned to run dual return pumps, with one running through a manifold, and the other running through UV. I combined both returns into one and am now just running a single return pump.
Clean setup! Nice work!

I very much agree. I love that with these totes you can easily go large with the sump and you avoid a lot of issues with under stand sumps.I’m a big fan of the basement sump, if you can pull it off. Mine is a wide open (no baffles) Rubbermaid 150 gallon stock tank. Everything external. I ran a 3” external PVC manifold for my external pumps and external skimmer. With a basement setup, you don’t have to worry whether or not your equipment is too big. Or too noisy. I love seeing others that have done the basement sump thing.
