I have a marine x 90.3 waterbox and the sump absolutely sucks. Is it possible to switch the sumps to something like a reef octo? Would I have to switch up the plumbing? What would i need to look out for? I think my current sump has 3 pipes that run down the center of it. Does anyone who has a waterbox switch sumps?
 
You can always switch.

But you can also just reconfig too.

Might help if you listed what you do not like about it, maybe there's someone here that has addressed that successfully so its not such a drastic change?

The main issue for me is its not compatible with filter rollers.
