I really want to replace the socks with a clarisea roller on my new Red Sea tank that I'm soon setting up but I heard that installing and plumbing it is hard.
how do I plumb the roller inlet onto the downflow. I dont think it’s possible to do that cuz of all the glass baffles and the sock chamber in the way. Maybe I could place the roller where the sock is but with all the glass and plastic I don't think that’s possible though.
Is that the ONLY option to install a roller?
I’ve heard of the Klir that you can slide onto the sock holders but apparently BRS says that Redsea sock holders are 3.5in not standard 4in so I guess that won’t work either…
Another idea would be to run the roller standalone in sump (probably in the optional refugium area of the sump)? Free of the downflow and to propel water into the roller using a separate return pump attached onto the inlet (instead of pipe) ? I dunno.. Like a syncra silent?
Would that work? I just thought of it…
If that option DOES work then i gotta find the smallest roller possible that’ll fit in the *optional fuge area* cuz that area isn’t really big..
(also what’s the best filter roller)
