Hi yes was pretty straight forward, put the sump on the kitchen table and get either scalpel or Stanley knife blade, then push the blade into the silicone filter sock section, I pushed the blade in and moved it backward and forwards and it then started to cut the silicone seems hard when you start but stick with it took about 25 minutes, I will upload some pictures when I get back from work where the Clarisea sits, then you will need to change the direction of the return flow pipe so it goes directly to the Clarisea. Defiantly do the MOD don't be put off Clarisea works great personally think its was a great inverstment.Do you have any details you can share about sump modification to hook up the Clarisea 3000? Just setting up mine and thinking about adding one.
I think the M2 is over kill the S2 is running now at 60% and is very quiet, plumbing is UPVC 32mnHello there! Great looking setup - I am currently working on plumbing my 200xl with an M2. Might I ask why you're only running the pump at 50%?
What diameter return plumbing did you go with?
Thanks!
Thanks for posting about your sump layout. I recently got a 200XL and I am in the middle of laying out how I'm going to fit everything. I really would like to implement a rollermat and it seems like the Clarisea is the best reviewed.
It is a little hard to see exactly what is going on, but it looks like you have it mounted right in front of where the filter sock would normally be. I measured this area on my sump and it looks to be 5.5 inches (140mm) but Clarisea says the width of the rollermat is 145mm. Here is a picture of the corner I think you have it placed.
Did the SK-3000 fit without having to modify the sump at all?
Very helpful.

Any more questiosn ask away my XL200 has now been up and running for 6 months
Hi there, I started cycling my REDSEA XL200 in May and finished adding livestock and my fishes on July 21st. Only now getting around to fine tuning my EcoTech Vectra M2 return pump. Specs for the XL200 indicate 530GPH. First question: is this including the 3ft for the cabinet and the 21” for the display tank for a total of ~60”?If you need any help or advice give me a shout I’m no expert but everything I have done with equipment seems to be working out
Mine is 9” high though could be higher if i raised the baffle just before the overflow to the return pump
Looks great!!!!Hello all
Been out of the hobby for over 16 years so feel like a noob again trying to catch up, just started the Cycle Redsea XL200, spent a number of hours stacking rocks on dinning room table, then spent even longer getting the plumbing in place. In the sump Clarisea 3000, Deltec 509 Reactor, Deltec 10w UV Steriliser, Nyos 120 skimmer, Neptune ATK, Apex at the back
No i could go lower as i have the baffle raised, I could go easy lower the baffle to 8”Ok, is 9” the lowest setting for the adjustable baffle? I’m about to set one up and trying to figure out my skimmer selection. Thank you.
