Just got mine running on my reefer 250. I added a piece of glass 2” X 16 7/16” to create a dam to raise the water level on top of the sock tray for the sensor to work. I siliconed it in since it is above the water line in the sump. I let that cure over night. I then took a rotary sander on a drill and enlarged the top hole in the sock holder to accept the smallest adapter that Klir furnished. The whole job was very easy. I love it so far.
Henry, I like your ideal, can you send me some photos of your dam?

Thinking about giving up on letting Klir advance itself. If I drop the optical sensor in the sump and control the power via APEX, hoping I can program it to advance when I want to clean the tank avoiding the need to modify or adapt my sump ??? .....

I have the same style of sump as this. Were you ever able to find the correct bracket to with the filtering?

This was in my old system. No, What I did was dremel the Red Sea bracket so that the Klir sat flush in the slightly modified filter sock hole. I moved the optical sensor to the water level using a Tunze float bracket and then rigged my APEX to control it all. It worked like a charm, pulled fleece forward only when needed and was still able to use other part of filter bracket for a filter cup and media.

Hey, I just got my hand on a Reefer 350 with v2 sump. Just wondering if you still have the stl files for the adapter. I found something on Thingiverse but it says it's for v3 sump. Not sure I would fit my older model. I am upgrading my system to the 350 and would like to reuse my klir filter in it. I know this post is old but would love to get the files so I can print an adapter. Thanks in advance !

How'd you mod it to fit your RSR525 XL? Any images?

To connect my clarisea filter. I cut out all the sump chambers besides the return pump section.

To connect the filter roller. Purchases a 32mm to 1in from BRS. Then to connect everything I used vinyl tubing.

Is this the latest version of this
A couple of small changes to reduce the amount of material needed to print this adapter. I hollowed the base and the side walls while leaving enough material along the perimeters to maintain the structure.

The other change is to add a "potbelly" to the front of the adapter. This is on the back of facebook comments CoralVue has made that the optical trigger sensor needed to face the opposite direction of the flow. The potbelly makes room for the sensor on the front side.

It's on the printer now. I'll update the thingiverse page after I get a chance to test it.

Is this the latest version of this adapter?
Do you make and sell these?
Thanks for your time.
