Roller mat

[zbrusko]

I have a Trigger Titanium 39 sump. The roller mat for that sump is sold out for months & is poorly reviewed, anyway. Can I use any roller mat, or must it be specific to that sump? I’m most curious if anyone has specifically used a different roller mat in this or other Trigger sump, and if so, what is your experience. Thanks.

looks like they use standard 4" socks so you can get away with any that will drop into them. nclear medium i believe can do this, just email them to make sure. i have an aipai roller that i love rn but its only been set up for a couple of weeks and from aliexpress so harder for warranty but only costs $94 rn. you will need 2x either one or even mix and match if you want

actually i forgot you will only need one host and one slave so for 2 of the aipai it is $94 for host + $63 for the slave unit

i havent used it for long enough to give you a longevity evaluation but it has worked perfectly for me. as always aliexpress is a risk because you are usually dealing with overseas companies and bad support. the controller is in chinese too but it is plug and play, you dont actually need to press any buttons. 1 button will do a single rotation, while the other is to do the full roll (idk why), but again you never should have any need to press them
