Howdy there.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a rollermat that could fit the following dimensions:

L4.09 X D11.38IN
L10.4 X D28.9CM

There is 2, 4inch filter socks but I'm hesitant to get the Klir di-4 as I've heard all sorts of mixed reviews about it. Is the V2 version fix some of the issues the last one did? As for the red sea nanomat, it maxes out at 250 gph - how much does this matter?

Thanks yall

I took a look at it seems like it is 0.3 inches too big. You think I could just shave it off? I did find one available where I am.

Hi - I'm totally new to R2R but am interested in trying to fit the AF-RS170 into the intake chamber of the sump for a waterbox 60.2 (couple years old). The chamber size has one of its dimensions as about 4.4" and I'm just wondering if this filter roller will fit into that. The AF-RS170 footprint is supposed to be 5 7/8" x 4 3/8" but I'm not sure where that 4 3/8" measurement is being taking from (does it include the tiny arms that stick out to keep the filter wall away from the baffle or is it measured from the bottom base?). Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The 4 3/8" appears to be the length including the tiny Arms while the length minus the tiny arms is around 3.5". Tangerine sent me a couple of photos if want to om to see them.

Ok thanks so much. I think I'll give it a try knowing that if I need to, I can shave off a little from those 'arms'. Hopefully won't be too difficult.

Maybe one of these designed for aio chambers ? Message seller and ask what the measurements are




His website says he does custom designs also. Maybe he could make you something that’s a perfect fit
