YES!!! Roller Matt ready!!! Struggling to adapt mine currently - I can get one in there (maybe should have gotten a smaller one - but now I’m worried that return pump section will be too small - going to have to find a way to test that…. Pretty much locked into the sump dimensions if we stick to the stand. Is making one that difficult? Clear PVC or Acrylic would probably be easier to work with compared too glass. I’ll have to look for a custom sump build thread if my test fails.Thanks!
Like you, I may add one in the future, but for now I'm ok washing socks. I found the stock sock to clog up pretty quickly, usually within 48 hours or so. I picked up some regular 200 micron felt socks.
Overall I'm really liking the tank. My only quibble with the whole system is the sump. I kinda wish it was acrylic instead of glass. It's a beast, so heavy. Makes removal for a deep clean or whatever that much harder. But it is easier to customize, like removing the sock holder for example. I think they could improve it by making it acrylic with height adjustable skimmer section, removable sock holder and filter roller ready.
