Looking for ideas for a fleece roller for my 36" sump. Space is super tight. Total water volume is probably somewhere around 100-120 gallons (after subtracting rock/sand)
Note: I am willing to cut out the 2 7" filter sock holders.

If this is the one you have, then I reckon the roller mats from either Reef Factory (smart!) or Clarisea (solid!) will be your best options.

If you could share any measurements as well, then maybe people will be able to help you out :)

Sorry, yes this is my sump. The overflow chamber is about 7.5' in wide. It's pretty small for any type of roller except for what I already have. Klir Di-7. My concern is that 1 di-7 isn't enough filtration when I plug up the 2nd sock holder. I think I'm gonna have to modify it no matter what. The sock holder his also built in, so I would have to cut it out. Not sure why they just didn't make it an option to remove it.

Thanks, yes sorry the width seems to be the big issue for fitting a roller. But you are right I think the M smart roller would fit if I cut out the filter socks. Looks like its 10" L x 5" W x 21.5" H. Seems like a newer product. I don't see any reviews on brs.

Don't worry about what BRS thinks, they are not 'gods of reef keeping' although they sometime think they are! :p Reef Factory is new to the US market, we've had them in Europe for a while and they make great products. Their app is far the best in the business.

Plenty of videos on these online on YouTube. Parkers Reef has a good one; so does Reef Dork.

Ha Ha, watching the reef dork review now. :) And I don't think BRS are the gate keepers, just trying to find some reviews. :)
