Anyone running a MRC Infiniti roller?

[Enderg60]

Im looking at picking one up but was wondering if anyone could provide some pics of how you have it plumbed up?

 

[Enderg60]

Bump, anyone run one of these?

I've had mine installed since October and really like it so far. Has dramatically reduced maintenance load without having to worry about changing socks. Additionally the mat has been lasting longer than I expected. Very happy with it

We have been selling these pretty regularly for over a year and the feedback has been very good from the customers that we have talked to. Here's an article that I wrote recently and the article will take you to the MRC section on our website if you click the article link. Thanks and happy 4th!

I am also running one. I have been using it since October 2023. It is doing a great job!!!

I’m setting up my 900 gallon and decided to go with the Infinity. Currently making a stand for it to sit in my sump on and plumbing it into my system. I’ll make a post once i do.

curious if these thing last a lot longer...that must mean the stench is unbearable yeah?

Very cool, looking to get one myself. Do you know the size width sump needed to accomodate it?

I know it's 28", but that includes the control box I believe, looks like it can sit above the sump, if the body can fit in it.

Love that...what size is the body of the unit? How wide is your sump?

My roll has lasted over a year and does not smell

I'll have to post a picture a bit later. I'm impressed that a roll lasted you a year. I must need to lower my flow rate I blew through my first roll in about a month and half.

The pump I have hooked up to my manifold is good for 5040GPH and is pumping to the floor above in addition to my frag tank and reactors so I assume I'm well within the spec they mention on the site after loses:

Capacity: Up to 83 GPM / 5,000 GPH (315 LPM / 18,927 LPH)* [135 GPM with additional bypass drain]

QUESTION: How much headroom do you need above the unit to service it: ie: remove the roller?

For those of you looking at this unit, I have a drawing.

Note the line in red is 8" that was important to me, as I'm recessing the skimmer a bit into my sump:

Beautiful. So u built that box for it?

Are you pumping it through the rollermat with a return pump?

How do you switch the rolls?

I went to Home Depot and got some pvc boards and screwed them on. I’d hardly call it beautiful, but it’s functional. This tank is the meme: “I will never financially recover from this”. The sump and fish room are purely about function. Doesn’t look super flashy but gets the job done.

I have 2 - 2” returns from my display and 2 1 1/2” returns from my frag tank plumbed into it.

Turn off the return pump and loosen off the unions seen in the pictures.

What size and brand of sump is that?
