sump with built in rollormat filter?

[ehutchby]

Is any manufacturer working on building a sump with a built in Rollormat Filter into their sump? OR building a sump around the Theiling Rollormat system?
Reef Savvy is going to build me a beautiful new system with a hybrid center overflow, using the Beananimal drain. I purchased the Theiling Rollormat filter from you guys a couple of days ago, for the new build, but I was careless and didn't think to measure the hight of the Rollormat. It won't fit using my current sump. I'd like to find another sump system, using a Rollormat filter OR find/have built a sump that incorporates the Theiling Rollormat (which I would prefer doing). Any thoughts on who to call? thank you.

I believe Royal exclusive has come out with such a design.

I had advanced acrylic build one for my HP roller mat which handle 2000gph flow. 72"x36"x30"

You'll likely need to go custom, or find a way to install the Rollermat outside of the sump. We have had great luck with Synergy Reef's sumps.

Jonty has one heck of a tank, and the filtration is equally impressive. This could be a great option :)

Quick update. Synergy isn't taking any custom orders at this time. I spoke with a couple more builders today. I'll work on a drawing this weekend, working in the rollormat. Will see what I can work out.

+1 on advance acrylics. They do awesome work!

Sounds good, I'd love to see your solution when you implement it!

Another update. I've been speaking with Tyler at Elite-Aquatics. He's going to tweet his design soon and start testing the flow. See his REEF2REEF page. Looks nice.

Not all details are there yet but FYI here is the elite aquatics thread on their sump that integrates the rollormat

Interesting idea! I've seen a few designs out there recently... I'm curious, what features would you want in a sump built around / with a built in rollermat?

I want a "dreambox" set up with drop in roller mat, I would prefer a lot higher gph too

Where did you get that roller Matt from? And how much does it go for?
