I've seen larger builds with custom built rollermats. Is there a easy 10 steps or less with shopping list of parts on how to build a custom rollermats. I don't like any of the reviews out there of any that are out there. My tank has around 2400 gph, which means I'd have to figure out how to install multiple roller mats into my sump with 2 1.5 inch overflow pipes.

If there is an existing rollermat builder or rollermat that would work well with this flow, let me know, but I'm open to suggestions on how to improve detritous removal. I run an algae turf scrubber, skimmer, 25 micron Nu-Clear cannister filter for water polishing, and 1 filter sock right now, which is overflowing with 24 hours. So, I replace every 1-2 days. I go through about 5-6 socks a week. Looking for options. . .
