Which is a good budget option for a filter fleece roll?
tank is 220 gallon build with decent bioload
Also my sump is a DIY sump using a 55 gallon aquarium .Will a fleece roll fit in it?

Looking for budget friendly? How about these 3D printed filter cups? Change out a small piece of filter floss every week (30 seconds). Cheap, effective, and simple. Also, one less mechanical thing to go wrong. $15 for the cup & $10 a year for the filter floss.

Takes only 30 seconds to change the floss. How long does it take to change the roller? Doesn’t changing the roller take longer than the cumulative weekly floss changing?

I know you have to do this weekly but there are other things that have to be done weekly like cleaning the skimmer cup.

Clarisea has worked well for me for over a year. I used the 3000. For a 220g maybe the 5000 will be a better fit in terms of gph. Change the filter roll every 6-8 weeks.
