Just wanting to see if anyone that is using the Fiji cube sumps are using a fleece roller. I am looking for input and to see fi they fit well or if any modifications were made. I have the fijicube sump 30

its a little different because the filter sock holder comes out and you can place a mesh basket in its place so im trying to figure out exactly what rollers I can use

my design works well... Klir - 4 on the 20 gal sump

i saw those on one of the other threads and i may go that route. I just need to know which flece rollers I can get. idk if I can get the 7 as its hard to guage size when the sump is built the way it is

Does the 30 come with two 4 inch socks standard, if so then its probably the same size as the 20 and there is no was your getting a klir 7 in there. You could squeeze two klir 4s maybe

Yes 2 4 inch socks but the page that holds them comes out so it's really bigger than that

yes the piece that holds them is on the left and the piece i designed and had made to replace it is on the right...

Were you not able to rotate that cutout to place the 7 in?

The klir 4 just barely fits into the opening of the eurobracing on the top of the sump... theres no way the 7 will fit. Its 6 inches wide at its narrowest

This is exactly the info I was looking for. I really appreciate it. How much for you to make that insert for me and ship to 47404?

Interesting thread. I have a Fiji 20. Was thinking about getting 2 4” Klir’s. Having done any measuring yet. Will 2 4’s not fit?

I had Matt from Octoaquatics make it for me. Hes a member here or you can email him at [email protected]. Send him the picture and im sure he remembers making mine as it was a pretty unusual request. Im pretty sure he has the info saved.

Honestly i feel like between one klir 4 and a skimmer its hard enough leaving organics in my system. Ive never really considered a need for two..

No problem, it works great. I even made a breakout power cable for the klir motor and plugged it into my apex and installed a float switch. I wrote some nice code with the help of others on here and now have total control of my roller. One small thing to note. The water level in the sump will need to be pretty high so that the majority of the lower half of the klir is sitting in the water. If not water pressure tends to be really high on the filter paper itself and it finds its way around the fleese before water can raise above the klir sensor and you get some bypassing when it gets really dirty. I actually keep the sump level at about 10 inches and had to get a skimmer stand to raise my skimmer. Ive been meaning to raise the water even higher but haven't taken the time...

Yes i like it. They upgraded the motor and its very strong now. Those reviews are old. The controller and sensor pretty good as well. Biggest thing ive learned is it should be pulled out of the tank every 3 months and soaked in vinegar to remove any calcification. If you keep it clean and the fleece freely moving and clear of any snails it works great.
