34 inch Trigger Titanium Sump

[JRPYL]

Has anyone tried or does anyone know if a reefmat 500 will fit in the 34 inch Trigger Titanium series sump?

That sump can be fitted with a trigger fleece roller. Why not go with the factory one?

I already have a reef Mat 500 that I picked up for 50 bucks

I'm having waterbox build a custom tank but I don't like their sumps

That is the sump I have. I just measured the opening that the factory fleece roller fits into. It is roughly 10"x6". Happy to try to get a more detailed measurement if you want.

That's helpful. Thanks. Let me get the measurements on the roller. How do you like the sump? What size tank you running it on?

It's been working well for me. It's under a 120gal that I setup just over a year ago and I haven't had any complaints. It was originally the manual fleece roller, but I very quickly bought the upgrade kit to make that automatic.

I have a hunch that the refugium space will be a bit small if I ever try to do a proper fuge with chaeto, but I haven't done much more than dabble with that, so I don't know for sure.

Looks like there is not enough room for the flexible hose

Cool thanks. Ya I was wondering about fuge too.

Hmm, looks tight. Here is an end view. The overall width is 15", so you might be able to modify the stock inlets to accommodate the flexible line. (That is 10" wide fleece)

Ok thanks thar helps alot. I think there would be room on the end. How do ypu like that roller? Is it programmable?

I like it, and it has been trouble free. I usually forget it is there. A roll usually lasts me about 3 months, but they are frequently out of stock so I order a couple more as soon as I put my last roll in.

You can adjust a few parameters, and it has a few modes of operation. I let it run using the water level sensors, but you can also just have it move so many millimeters every so many minutes.

I don't know/remember if it can be easily connected to any of the reef controllers.
