Red sea filter sock retro fit

[Fishfinder]

I recently bought a Red Sea tank. It came with the roller mat. Is there a kit I can buy to replace it with filter socks?

Many require sump modifications and unless you the have the parts removed you may have problems. There may be some kits that im not aware of. I recently cut the parts out of my reefer 170 sump that I'm scrapping to spend to someone who bought a used tank that has been modified for a roller but the roller wasn't included.
If you have the roller why don't you want to use it? I have tanks with socks and a tank with a reefmat and love the roller over changing and cleaning socks.

I’ve only had had it a few days but I feel like the roller mat misses a lot of particulate. Maybe I’m wrong. But I’m fine with the manual labor to have a more efficient system

I'm currently in the situation where my filter mat and skimmer keeps pulling out to much nutrients and my levels go 0 0... I'm looking to remove my roller mat and adding in two socks. Currently I only run my skimmer for two hours at night. Other than the little clip on style sock holder that go over the edge of a sump, is there any easy way to add socks to a sump?

Similar for me as well. I don't even have a skimmer and I shut my roller down at night sometimes and let it overflow.
