I would like to get an auto fleece roller for my tank.

I have an IM NUBO 200 INT.

Looking for suggestions on one which will fit in the first chamber of my sump which is 4.3” wide.

Not sure if there is one which will fit, but having a tough time finding options so thought I’d ask here.

Thanks,
T

The Fiji cube arf 20 fits in that space perfectly. I’m using one in my RFS39 sump which has the same filter sock section as yours

I’ve been happy with my Reefmat— though I just reread your thread more carefully and realize you need a smaller footprint.

4.3" space to fit a fleece roller for a 200g tank is going to be tough. I personally have and love Reefmat 500s and 1200s. for your tank id want at least the 500 the 1200 would be much better. if you find a very small reefmat to fit you will be changing the roll all the time i bet

I have the IM 200 EXT and modified my sump to run a Reefmat 1200. No issues except for the dead zone I created in the filter sock area now. I have small little pump to circulate water through to keep detritus down and moving towards the skimmer.

Edit: The sump is the RFS50 that was part of the package.

Hello, did you plumb to flex hose directly to the primary drain? I have an ext 170 coming and trying to determine the best way to add a roller. IM said people are blocking off the flow through slots and drilling through the divider wall ito the skimmer chamber and adding a bulkhead hooking reefmat up that to keep the filter cup section active.
