Hi everyone,

I have a ProClear Freedom 4-in-1 400 sump. I am not entirely happy with the way it was plumbed and looking for ideas on how I can change it and add a roller mat to it. The Outflow pipes coming into the sump are 2”. Currently to change to filter socks I have to turn off my who system to remove the pipe and change the sock and then restart it.

How would you change it?
How can I put a Fleece Roller in here?
What roller would you get?

Tank is 120ish gallon

Thanks

I have a proclear. There is NOT a lot of room, and it was a job but here is what mine looks like.
do you have the 400? mine is 45x14.5x16

skimmer section is 13x14"
refugium section is 12x11"
sump compartment is 9x14"

I was thinking about moving my skimmer into the refugium section and if room place the roller mat in the skimmer section. Just not sure how to get by the skimmer sock area.

I don't have that tank. Mine is 150. We had to cut the sock section out for the plumbing. My skimmer sits towards the back. So, left is plumbing, middle is skimmer and mat and right is the pump.
