Round screens on Reefer 1000

Ironfish · Jul 6, 2023

Does anyone know how to install this round screens on the sump extension divider on the RS Reefer 1000 G2?

There's no info in the manual and I haven't been able to find any info on them.

Never seen them! Looks cool though. I don't have those. Just holes in the divider. I'm even thinking about taking the divider out to have better flow. I have some peppermint shrimps in there for aiptasia and this way I can see in there better. Wish I dared put them in the first section! Afraid they'd get sucked into the skimmer or return pumps

Sadly they are not screens for the divider and just screens to put as lids on top of the filter socks.

I really think this sump should include some kind of screens for in between sumps and for the divider. If we want to use it as a refugium and/or to put fish or other animals and not risk them to just go to the other side of the sump and get suck by a pump.

agree! My 2nd sump was overrun with aiptasia. Had to dump all the chaeto. when I added the shrimp I zip tied netting over the in and out lets to keep the shrimp in that section. Am now putting more rocks back in and will try chaeto again. Have to remember to add some food down there as they took care of the aiptasia. Might try to add a couple into the display but I never see them. Not sure if my hawkfish gets them.
