Fijicube roller mat

[williamjacobs641]

I don't do reviews much at all but this is my 1st fleece roller mat. I got this in the other day(preorder). It works great. Fit in the sump(fiji 20 sump). I hated socks and I didn't want to mod a roller to fit this sump. Only thing I don't like so far is that I have to disconnect the sump from the tank to side the sump out to change the roller if need be. I have a complete fiji tank with stand and it's not tall enough just to slide the roller out to do any maintenance.

Looking good! I have a Fiji Sump and have been considering adding one of these.

I just installed mine today. It wouldn't go in as the whole assembly for me either. One of the ways you can do is to undo 3 plastic screws that hold the fleece roller and put it back on while it's half way inside the sump. Seems to be working ok. Any idea how to stop it from advancing during feed mode or when my return pump is off? I connected it to Apex but the filter controller defaults to off after a power cycle with Apex.

It is good quality and simple. But you need a lot of clearance for this to go inside the sump.

Glad to hear that it is working well, definitely going to be my next purchase for my tank

I modified a little bit. If you run your sump at a high water level, it will advance too quick. So I had to add a small piece of acrylic to the L bracket that you install the float switch. This way the float switch is raised by half an inch. It seems to be doing a good job now. Only other nuance I have with the design is the two acrylic rods at the bottom. They say not to install the screws tight. But it's not tight, it has to be half way or else it will tighten itself and block the roller from advancing. I wish they had some other way to install that.
