IM 75g filter roller

Hello:

I’m getting behind on changing filter socks- they clog up quickly and was wondering if anyone has had any luck with drop ins from a third party? I’m trying to avoid modifying the existing rfs sump, anyone had experience with nanomat or the klir 4 ?

Seems like it would be a tight squeeze, also the flow rates are rated for lower..

Thanks in advance

I run two Klir 4's in my IM 75 EXT controlled by my Hydros controller.

does it require any modification? Why the hydros control? Doesn’t it come with a controller?

This is the comment I needed. Would love to learn more about how you have the rollers placed. I’m setup on hydros so I definitely want to do this down the line. Any photos you can share? Curious how they are mounted.

Thanks in advance

IM support told me they have R&D working on a roller to install on the ext. No timeline was given though

When did you hear this? This is part of the reason I didn’t want to cut into the sump to make it happen

Thanks. Wondering if I want to try a klir before they release theirs. I am guessing the rollers they released for their aio is their test device

I have the IM and Klir on my 120. The IM I like much more because it turns every night for the time I set. The Klir uses the level which I have set to my Hydros but no way of knowing how many times it rolls. I do not like it as much plus when it does roll it drives my skimmer crazy. I had to set my hydros to turn skimmer off when water level get wets and keep the skimmer off for 5 minutes before it turns back on. That solved the issue of over skimming.

So did you use the IM one designed for their AIO in your sump?
