Hey Reefers!

I am in the pre-planning stage of my next tank. I have most things figured out, but there still remains a pretty big question that will decide whether or not I buy a larger tank. I am interested in buying the ProStar 200 v2, which is a ~185G total system tank. It's a "reef ready" tank, so it comes with pretty much everything I'll need, except...

I don't want to use filter socks. Instead, I'd like to run a filter roller, specifically Red Sea's ReefMat 1200. Problem is, I am not sure it's going to fit in the sump.
Sump diagram can be found here.

It's pretty clear I'll have to remove the filter sock holder and the baffle separating the drain lines & the filter sock. Still, not sure if it's going to fit in this space. Does anyone have this tank / sump + roller? I'm thinking I can trim back the drain lines a bit, and it would maybe fit.

Worst case I can upgrade to the ProStar 230 v2, which I am 99% sure it'll fit :winking-face:
ProStar 230's sump diagram can be found here.

Any answers / insights would be greatly appreciated!
For those interested I am upgrading from a 20g nano :smiling-face-with-sunglasses:
