Thanks! We wanted to make something that was not only easy to do maintenance on, but also easy to setup. Plus with the plate system the sump can be upgraded in the future. Making this sump future proof, unlike other roller mat sumps on the market where you are stuck with their proprietary rollermat system!
Are the thumb screws stainless steel? If so they will rust. I'm looking at ordering this sump but I was wondering if i could replace the stainless steel thumb screws for titanium screws?
Yes they are 316 American made stainless steel and will never rust. We have tested them for over 7 years in saltwater aquariums. No need for titanium unless you just want to spend extra money.
Hi Rick, do you think 1 Cailsea gen 2 5000 would be enough in my CL-44 RED AND WHITE SUMP that I bought from you a while ago that has 2 4'' filter sock holes? Or would the ClariSea DI-4 AND install two of them one for each filter sock hole?
Great Questions. You can run just 1 clarisea SK5000 and no sock. As long as the flow into the one clarisea does not exceed it max flow rate, all the water would go thru the clarisea. The sock is only used if you were running a higher than recommended flow rate.
All of our sumps are built to order and lead times will vary depending on current demand. . We do offer filter socks on the Triton Sumps, but it's not really a Triton sump at that point.
That’s absolutely awesome Rick and Vanessa 🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌
Thanks!
Clever integration of the clarisea roller. I like how the slotted inlet pipe for the roller unit screws into the sump. Makes it easy for maintenance.

Let’s say I wanted to run one Clarisea and no separate sock. What would happen to the water that gets bypassed from the first Clarisea?

Is it really 8 weeks to build this for me? Can you put filter sock holders in the triton sump for me?

Will this fit in waterbox marine x stand ?
Not sure, you would need to measure the inside of your stand and compare to the sump dimensions online.
How do the rollers increase flow rate?
The rollers do not increase flow rates. They actually have a lower flow rate than traditional socks. Especially 2 x 7" socks.
