I recently came into a used Trigger Platinum 39 sump with the roller mat attachment. The roller mat is missing the power supply and one of the brackets is broken but easily mendable. I will also now be running a Skimz SV227 skimmer in this sump which is rated 2-3X my display size. I am wondering if I should be bothering with getting the roller mat up and running or if I should just convert that area into some other form of manual filtration if my skimmer will be the workhorse of my filtration.

filter rollers are excellent in my opinion, I personally don't have the time and motivation to change floss or socks in my display constantly. If you're of the same mindset, I'd say it's worth it to get it back up and running. I use a red sea reef mat 500 myself.
 

DO YOU THINK TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE MORE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL TO REEFING?

  • I think it depends mostly on the technology.
