I have a 225g display that’s sps dominant. I have a heavy fish load. My current sump is 48x20x16 with 4 x 4” filter socks
I’m considering switching it out for a 44 x 18 x 18 which has a chamber that can accommodate 2 Clarisea 500 roller mats. I would also take advantage and switch out my Vectra L1 for 2 Neptune Cor 20s so I can better use feed mode.
thanks

Just make sure they can handle the flow rate that your turning over.

I just bought a klir not here yet but if it works well it will be my favorite piece of equipment. I am definitely done with socks and floss cups.

Or you might want to look at the klir if it drops into your current system. They have supposedly delt with the issues of the first generation.

CLARISEA SK-5000 can handle 1320gph and the COR 20 puts out 2000gph. I would have both Joe’s turned down and there will be 2 of the Clarisea to help compensate
