I run both the Theiling RollerMat (over a year) and the Klir DI-4 ( since release)and love it. I even found an alternative source for the roll material for the Theiling Rollermat so I can get double the capacity for the same price.
That spare little bracket is to raise up the clean roll so you can have it almost on top of the winder motor love mine :) and the staple trick works every time
Hey... look at you all grown up with a fleece filter and all 😊. As I said in a previous video I am using these for the last two years (first a theiling rollermatt than a gen 1 clarisea) and would not setup another tank without one! It is total bliss not to have to worry about clogging socks, cleaning socks, and the water is always pristine. I use heavy duty tape (the black thick one) when I change the rolls and as long as I tape front and back I can push the new roll with it. Congrats!
I am interested to see how well it works out . I purchased 2 klirs for my 300 and was completely disappointed in their operation over the course of 2 months
@@cherrelle3231 they told me they would send me 2 new units because of the flaws in there released product. I have been waiting 2 yrs for the release of the klir. Was terrible since the morning after. No instructions to build units and first night exhausted 2 new rolls.could keep going but just buy a different brand . its convenient to replace the socks with these but its definitely not a set it and forget it. There is supposed to be fixed units but I am still trying to get a refund as I have already sent them their units back and they still haven't sent me the new ones. Highly disappointed as well as frustrated with the customer service.
I am holding off for sales MD tends to do sales around this time of year but I have roughly 10 1/2 inches of space from the top of my sump to my tank Would you feel this would fit in the door area is framed So when going on i have to lean it into the sump to get that 10 inches to clear the framing . I know the sump area where I have room hold about 9 inches of water. And you plumb your return right into the roller correct ?
Yes, i plumbed it off of my main drain. You don thave to hang it on the side, you could also just sit it in the sump. WIth the hangers my comes up about 5" above the sump rim
Hey man, how did you connect your drain to the outlet on the Clarisea? I'm from Canada and the outlet is 32 mm for Canadian Sk-5000 models I'm informed. Ye-ha :p
Ross Petersen where did you buy it from? I have seen UK and US versions. If your in Canada you can with just change the Elbow to a 1” one. Or order an 32mm > 1” adapter from reefsupplies to convert metic to standard.
I'm going to get a 3K or 5K, what's your recommendation after having used the 3K for quite a while now (assuming I have room for both in my sump)? Thanks for the advice in advance!
Videos from u are on different leagues !!! Keep this stuffs coming up... waiting for ur new tank video.. I more thing I still think filter socks are way more effective than any rollermats! Except for it is a much more maintenance issue
They are effective if you actually change them every few days.. (thats where i fail!) tons of videos to come as i set up and get the new build going! Thanks for the awesome compliments :D
I am surprised to see a few dislikes on this video. A small percentage of people must really enjoy cleaning & changing out filter socks frequently I guess.
I’d like to purchase one, but my fear is that when the new section of fleece in roller comes on contact with water it will drive the skimmer nuts. I have this problem with new filter socks but this problem goes away over multiple uses of the socks...something in the socks the material make the skimmer go nuts...was this the case with your Clarisea??
TheHelicapt I didn’t really notice any change with my skimmer (although I have had it on the tank since I upgraded it). But with changing rolls there is no big change.
In every video I’ve seen on these they all seem loud, bubbling water ect. My sump is almost silent and although I like the idea of these I don’t like the idea of the noise. It’s a shame cas it’s really put me off them.
Darren's Marine World the water flow through it is silent. If they are bubbling I suspect it’s their drains not tuned not the roller. Only noise from mine is. 2 second motor noise when it advances the dirty roll
Why not show us how you hooked up the drain line to the unit? I mean you basically just showed us how to put it together. I'm sure qe could have figured that out. But you placed it in a large area of the sump , all I can think how much of the water is not making it though the fleece roller. Sorry but this was a poor video.

Sweet deal! I'm excited to finally rid socks! will make life much much easier!

love mine :) and the staple trick works every time
Awesome! Great to hear you are loving yours! i cant wait to get mine 'wet' :)
Man you always get the coolest stuff!
I have been planning this build for almost a year :P
Is there substantial smell now that the used roller is above waterline?

Awesome! I guess i finally made it to the big boy club! I'm stoked for it! I think its going to make a huge difference :D
😄 great channel. Cant wait to see your new build.
Nice ,new tank update 😃 I want to see it ..good luck 👍👍
Thanks Danny! Its coming soon! still prepping the setup getting close

I have never used the Klir.. but to me the filter roll looked to small for a larger tank
@@ReefDudes it actually held up well to the amount of water going through but had too many problems with them. They need to tweek them a bit.
@@rickb7242 Good to know! we shall see how this one holds up.. I have alot of faith in it as everyone i know with one seems to love it.
@@rickb7242 what problems did you have? was thinking about buying a klir.

Nice why haven't you showed a video on your new Aquarium we would like to see it. Much peace
It is coming soon! Still prepping all the little parts! I plumbed it yesterday so that may be next weeks video :D
I may actually do a live stream on it tonight then ill do a more refined video later :)
Made it look so easy 👍
Once i got rolling it wasn't bad at all! The photo instructions of each step helped a lot!!
Cheers, thanks for the reply 👍

Are these available in the states yet? I know the klir just came out but this just looks more substantial
are you still getting good results with it? im considering on buying one
Keeps my water crystal clear! It sure beats cleaning socks every few days.
I plan on getting the klir fleece which one do you think is better
death mage Klir is good if it’s going in a filter sock hole. To me the roll was too small on it and I figured I would have to change it more.
@@ReefDudes dont they have a bigger one and an adapter if you dont have a filter sock holder
Love this. Would it fit on my nano?
how is he suppose to know how much room is in your nano? I'm so confused on how stupid some of these questions are.
If you have a sump on it
@@maddawgzzzz yet you feel the need to reply to comments you don't know the details about. Just trust. Haha. He is a smart man and knows.
@@ReefDudes appreciate you brother!
I'm going to get a 3K or 5K, what's your recommendation after having used the 3K for quite a while now (assuming I have room for both in my sump)? Thanks for the advice in advance!
If you have the space get the 5k. Same roller 5k is just wider which means the roll will last longer in between changes :)
@@ReefDudes Appreciate the quick response (I'm ordering today).
So if you have 2x drines you need 2 units?
i'm not too worried about filter Everything.. just most of it :)

Die Hard Sock lovers! ... they are out there.
sent u a facebook invite bro. You ever try the red sea cups with polly fill? Easy as pie.
nada, well i use polyfill in my nano :)

ReefDudes
Got it. I might buy the roller paper just to see if it affects the skimmer
TheHelicapt not bad idea! Let me know if you do. I’m curious

for 400 dollars there is other easier too use options
You're kinda cute!

The pipe goes straight in to a slip fitting. Nothing magical about it. Glad you enjoyed it :)
