Most online retail places offer a footprint on the Pumps. Measure the spot u have in the compartment and check height as well...

And go shopping ;)

I’m still building mine out, but I fit a Vectra s2 in my Fiji cube 20. It’s a decently tight fit

It fits really well, I'm in the finished stages of my cabinet build and squeezes in nicely. I did have to get the secondary filter sock cover.

Nice, im glad i found this thread. I wasnt able to find any other people using a klir. I figured it fit based on measurements but i wasnt aure if i was going to need to make a custom piece of acrylic or something to swap into the sump chamber. I also see you cut the lid! Nice job... where you able to pick up orings to secure your heater? I just ordered some off amazon i hope will work.

Hey, i picked up a klir for my fiji sump! Question for you. I found the sock hole cut out was a tad too small for all three of the included plates. It fits nicely without one installed. Is that how you have yours?

That's exactly what I did no plate sealed well without it. The klir cover work marginal at best though. Has to be perfectly over the hole for it to seal. I think I'll take a piece of square acrylic and cover the second hole.

Nice. I was actually thinking about getting a piece of acrylic and cutting out that rectangle in it and putting the screw hole as well. That way you could literally attach the klir to the acrylic plate like its one of the circle plates that came with it. Kind of like combining these parts into one:

im going to reach out to Fiji and see if they have any of those rectangles that are not drilled yet...

So once I got the S2 flowing it's not putting enough flow out, could you snap a pic of how you got the M1 in the return section of your fiji 20? Thanks!
Sorry just now got around to getting a pic. Ive been busy!
