ClariSea Gen 3 Filter Roller - SK5000

[@davidlong8509]

A bypass aperture is provided and offers the ability for the user to adjust the amount of water that can bypass the fleece - the later is especially useful when feeding the aquarium.

[@ReefDudes]

There is a screw for it.. i never used it so didnt pay enough attention to it.. next time i clean it ill inspect how it works better

[@Derpymech]

Really want one, but will have to cut apart my geos sump…. Not sure if it be better off just getting a roller sump

[@bigbearmeetslittlebear3401]

Looks nice. I have to say though that a lot of the features on this--built in box, easy clean, drop in roll--the Klir already has. You just throw away the dirty roll too, no need to "remove" from a spindle, which isnt hard on clarisea it looks like but less touching the grossness i think is better? The early models i guess sucked, but mine works great and it just plops in the filter sock holder.

[@ReefDudes]

I have not used the Klir, but sounds like its working well for you. I know the original ones had motor issues but i'm sure thats been long fixed by now. I originally decided on the calrisea as the rolls were much larger (longer and wider) which meant it would go far longer between swaps! The Klir is a cool design though and makes it easy to just drop into a sock hole! clever design :)

[@paulmeneely]

Like the look of this. Only I have a Red Sea 300 XL. Would have to change too much in the sump.

[@barryjones6134]

Not sure if they are available in the USA yet but also take a look at the innovitech XFilter 1.7 way more reliable than the clarisea. Also with a choice of 4 fleece types 9 micron,17 micron,25 micron and 32 micron and 65m long rolls

[@joeshotpeppers7251]

So it’s been a month how is it going working we’ll probably and cons of this to the gen 2 since you have had it. Plan on ordering one in the next day or so

[@ReefDudes]

No cons on this. It improved a few things ge of the g2 mainly it’s 90% assembled out of the box abs the filter roll removal tool are nice touches !

[@joeshotpeppers7251]

@@ReefDudes since going to a fleece roller did it improve you nitrates and phosphate any? I use a filters change once a week didn’t know if filter where the same logic as a filter sock change every 2-3 days

[@maceysdaddy5150]

Perfect timing. My gen 3 is being delivered tomorrow. Can’t wait to try it!

[@ReefDudes]

Wicked! its so much easier to build/maintain the g2!

[@gools7577]

Devin can you do a video on how this is installed. I'm very interested in getting one but have no idea how the are fitted into a sump, and what tricks you need to know for that. I have 1-1/2" and 2" lines draining into my sump so not sure how I could retro fit this to make it work.

[@ReefDudes]

It just hangs on the edge of the sump. Check out this video. 6:54 in kzbin.info/www/bejne/onLOmKKPqKx-mac

[@tashdog1]

Well I still have my Deltec Power-roll, I will never change it. Good video.

[@ReefDudes]

If it ain't broke dont fix it! hehe !

[@familyvervaeke7813]

Are you sure the motor has more torque? My gen2 will stall towards the end of the roll when using a 40m roll and a high water column in the container. So more torque would be welcome. DD told me that their first incarnations were not adapted to the 40m roll.

[@ReefDudes]

V3 Cruciform is much beefier thanb the previous ones www.theaquariumsolution.com/motor-my-clarisea-looks-it-struggling-pull-fleece-through

[@farham60]

Looks like your lights are getting a bit bigger...upgrading to XR30s?

[@ReefDudes]

haha yep! I actually got them for the office tank since its so side then decided i really should have the best lights on my main display. Moved my G5 x 15s to the office tank,. big switcheroo

[@farham60]

@@ReefDudes how was the effect on PAR? How much you had to go down on intensity? Looks very nice by the way 👍

[@ReefDudes]

@@farham60 Insane par bump. I had my xr15 at 85% ish i believe, xr30 are at 30% basically double the diodes on the tank with all the intersections.. it really is overkill but amazing! One nice side bonus is cause i run them so low the fans almost never kick on so super quiet. Will do a video on it eventually but I like to use things for a while first. First time ever using 30s.. have previously only used 15s

[@farham60]

@@ReefDudes fantastic 👌 I also run 4 XR15 G5 Blue on a Reefer 3XL 900 and I run them at 100% Only if I had more money 😆

[@ReefDudes]

@@farham60 you have 0 reason to upgrade! hahah you already have amazing lights!

[@markviloria7355]

Hi is it possible to share the dimensions comparatively. My Gen2 fits perfectly in my cade pen as it is now, but I am welcoming an upgrade to this so I can maintain willingly lol

[@ReefDudes]

It’s basically the same size I would say almost identical. Would be very small changes if it is. Top roll area possibly a big bigger but wouldn’t be much

[@ReefDudes]

Just measured the main body and its basically identical or within 1/8 - 1/4 of an inch of each other

[@markviloria7355]

@@ReefDudes I appreciate the effort! Always look forward to your vids

[@RB-iw9ix]

Really enjoy your videos, always learn a lot. I've never used a sump and having to replace a 120 FOWLR. ( kinda terrified). When the unit is in the sump how tall is it. My cabinet only has 21" available. Also what sump will this fit in, inlet chambers on the 30" and smaller units look to small. TIA

[@Jbooth96]

Anyone know if people are selling the removal tool? That looks like such a good idea for the removal of the old filter roll!

[@ReefDudes]

Not sure but you could use pvc or something that slides inside for a diy one

[@DaddysBeanz]

I wonder how hard this would be to put into my Red Sea peninsula sump

[@Sammy31Dee]

I really wanted a roller mat for so long but I ended just doing 8" diameter filter socks....what an absolute breeze to flip inside out and clean....we need to make them dumb mini socks obsolete

[@ReefDudes]

agreed! 7" or bust I used to have the 5g bucket full of smelly socks then clean when it gets full.. not dealing with that is nice! (esp to keep wife happy!) but bigger the sock the better!

[@fishpony1211]

Definitely need to upgrade to this eventually! Great video

[@ReefDudes]

Thanks Fish Pony!

[@Zbryant91]

Any chance you can share some rough dimensions of the roll change tool? I have 2 gen 2 sk500s and would like to 3d print a tool like that for easier maintenance. That assembly looks way easier haha.

[@ReefDudes]

I’ll see what I can do for you later That tool works sooo well abs is so simple!

[@Zbryant91]

@@ReefDudes Thank you! I'm sure I can figure it out if not, but rough dims would help save some trial and error. I'm thinking I'd just make it a single piece & I'd be willing to share on R2R and thingiverse for others as long as there's no issue from clarisea.

[@ReefDudes]

@@Zbryant91 Outside of the H shape is about 56mm center opening is roughly 16mm wide. for about 15mm deep(down) then a smaller grove) whic would be the thick ness o the other Side to slide into it. Should be pretty easy to make one. If you have troubles let me know. i can prob mach one up later.

[@bdanz5851]

Does D-D sell the V3 motor as an upgrade? Or the roll remover tool for that matter??

[@ReefDudes]

Hmm I’m not to sure on that one Would be nice if they did

[@bma0920]

Great video as always Devin! Do you know of any sumps that fit this or do you have to cut out the filter sock holders on most? Planning out my next build and debating whether I go with something like the trigger systems platinum sump or if I can modify a waterbox/redsea/tideline sump to make this work. Definitely want a fleece roller.

[@ReefDudes]

Most stock sumps have sock holders which you may be able to remove. Aftermarket ones - can find some without sock holder. I believe many of the triton style are more wide open and more flexible

[@fishpalace]

the DD reef pro tank has the option of slotting the clarissa straight into the downpipe without any mods. saves so much time and is a great tank too

[@johnnyliu6271]

at 8 min in, you pull these 2 panels off. What's the point of that panel? COuldn't you just run this without those panels and make it super easy to clean?

[@melaniesimpson6322]

Was just looking at this and trying to see if I can fit this in...hahaha...no hammers for me tho!!

100x easier to assembly’s and maintain

[@chrismain91]

Of course, I’m outdated already with my gen2

[@ReefDudes]

Gen 2 worked Just as good as it did last week. :)

[@Demantius]

Reads "preassembled body", then spends almost 10 minutes assembling the parts...??? From a user perspective, this still looks like a downgrade compared to the original gen1 from Clarisea.

[@ReefDudes]

everything takes longer when your explaining and filming.. could put together in a few min. Old one took MUCH longer!

[@rolisreefranch]

Didn't take long for them to get you to start pitching their products. That being said, the gen 2 was a B@#$&* to assemble and the manufacturer video didn't provide a viewing angle that showed the assembly properly. Wish I'd waited longer for this one instead.

[@ReefDudes]

People want to send me stuff all the time :P .. stuff I like or use i make content on :) the G3 is wayyyyy easier to assemble/maintain then the G2 all awesome upgrades.
