Rollermat?

[MSB123]

I really love the idea of a rollermat- it removes waste easily, and keeps it out of the water. My one issue is flow rate.
My tank will be 350 gallons, with about 4500 GPH going through the drains. The rollermat only can handle 600 GPH. I would need 8 roller mats. I do not want to buy 8 roller mats. Is there a better option?
Please let me know!

That's a lot of water going through the drains! Why so much?

There are pond rated industrial roller mats available if you have the $$$$$ (honestly probably the same price as 8 roller mats), there is a member here who has one for there setup but I can't for the life of me find the thread on them.

You really don't need that much return through your sump.

Less is sometimes better.

Clarisea 5000 has a recommended through put of 1300 gallons fwiw.

I have mine fed with a pump from the first chamber of my sump, so only a portion of the water gets filtered with each pass, but it is still very effective.

I just looked at the Klir.

Its good for 1800 GPH.
Maybe I can reduce the flow to 3600 and use 2?

Would highly recommend the Clarisea. I to run one of two outlets through it and it does a great job. Considered much more reliable than Klir at this point.

I would have to run 3x Clarisea. I am going for 10x+ turnover

If tank will be, you can buy a sump with the roller already there.
