Here's the space im working with

Oh, that space should be perfectly fine for it to just drop in. The only issue will be installing it and putting it into the sump, it was a "bytch!" for me tbh, so I had to put it in the sump in two parts, and use the sense of "touch" Fijicube also admitted to me, they knew installing it was a bit cumbersome and their second generation would be a little less cumbersome. BTW, I like the Wyze pan and tilt cam... I installed their latest model on my system about a month ago at the same spot...Photo without the ARF installed is my current set-up until they release the silencer.

Do you mind providing dimensions of the body? Height is a concern for me as well.

I got a Klir (fits but the design sucks) and even thought of designing my own but this looks good.

Do you have an alternative for the Klir?

I was thinking about getting one for the fiji sump 20

thanks

Nope, that's why I'm asking about this one

Nice, yea i have some pan cams off the sides of my DT as well to keep an eye on things when traveling.

I may just bite the bullet and buy it to try it. I am terrible about changing my filter floss. One of the local shop owners mentioned to me that IM was also coming out with a new roller for their series for my office tank. i was hyped until i read its was "manual"... that's the whole reason why i'm looking at it.. i forget to manually do these things.

Also don't mind my dirty Sump area.... i cleaned it up Saturday a bit... I see you also did a shade for your Gro Light

Yeah I had someone on here create one for me from my older build on my 120g-Fiji 36 sump..., kept the shade when I went for this new build 108 gal/24 Fiji Sump. Also good news, Fiji finally came out with their silencers yesterday...they sent me a message as soon as it was available...bad news, they are closed since they are also in MN, from the big storm...but I ended up ordering it, should be here I hope sometime next week.

Hi, I contacted Fiji to get the official dimensions, but they are closed due to the snowstorm at their HQs in MN. However, with my current setup (I have the Fiji 24 Sump) so it might be different with the different add-ons that the ARF comes with for other non fiji cube sumps:

Height: 12"
Length: 6-3/4
Width: 3-1/4.
(White Sump lid 9-7/8 x 4-3/8)
Only about 10" of this ARF is in the water from the white lid.

Did you get the silencer yet? If so, how well does it work?

 

[Derrick0580]

Yes please update us on your opinion….considering this for my FC 30 sump

 

[Dave Dumanski]

following I have the Fiji 24 cube on my 75 gallon tank

 

[jphilip813]

i am wrapping up one month of using it with an honest review by the end of this week. I didn't want to rush and do an instant review of using it. Give me a few days...

 

[Derrick0580]

Bump…update?

 

[jphilip813]

This Saturday I promise... just recovering from foot surgery

 

[Derrick0580]

Saturday has come and gone! Lol, i sure hope your happy with it because I pulled the trigger and ordered one today. I see it now says comes with silencer plates!

 

[Sparkss]

I hope so too as it just went on sale for 10% off (-$35), about to pull the trigger. I also saw that it lists silencer plates as included now.

 

[Derrick0580]

Got mine assembled and installed today…do you have any pictures of the silencers installed? Description said it came with them but as maury says, “the lie detector test determined that was a lie!” I also wish the plate came drilled so it could be screwed in place instead of trying to align it to just sit in there and make sure the large hole is completely covered.

 

[Derrick0580]

Next question….has the op tried any other fleece in it? Wondering if the clarisea roll will fit as it’s about 50 feet longer than the fiji roll?

Same here... No instructions, emailed them for info, mismatched nylon screw sizes compared to install guide, no response. How do the silencers install?

My disappointment is setting in for them.

 

[Derrick0580]

Yes, I realized the screw sizes they called for to assemble it weren’t the same as the screws that came in the kit, at least not enough of the short ones they say to use. Then the next day I got home and the threaded part from the motor to the roller that collects the dirty fleece had unscrewed itself from the roller and the whole thing was jammed up. So I had to pull the assembly back out and disassemble the top section to rethread the roller back on. So far today it hasn’t unthreaded but only time will tell if it stays working correctly.
