# Installing the SK Plates onto the Clarisea SK5000:

{% hint style="info" %}
\*\*\*\****You can use either 1 or 2 SK5000 roller mats in these sumps. The flow rate into the sump will determine whether you need 1 or 2 roller mats. Each SK5000 is rated for 1300 GPH MAX, 2 SK5000s would be 2600 GPH MAX.*** If using only 1 Roller mat, must keep in the second plug in the bulkhead. But for the quietest operation we recommend keeping the flow below the SK5000 Maximum.
{% endhint %}

1. Install the “Crash Box Weir Baffle” if not already installed into the sump. (It is installed for shipping) See figure A.2:
2. Remove the Included SK Plates from the sump if installed. Look at the orientation of the plate numbers (1 and 2) before removal. They must be put back in the same location or they will not fit. The number 1 plate will be in the front position on a Left to Right flow sump. The number 2 Plate will be in the front position on a Right to Left flow sump. See Figure A.5 below
3. Completely assemble your SK5000 roller mats as per the instructions included with the roller mats. Get yourself acquainted with how this goes together as you will be slightly disassembling it to install the brackets later.
4. Remove the bottom screws on the Clarisea SK5000. Also remove the water bypass triangle if installed.
5. Slide the Included SK Plate onto the Clarisea SK5000 unit from the bottom.
6. Put the Clarisea SK5000 Screws back into the bottom of the unit.
7. Remove the next set of screws on the Clarisea Sk5000.
8. Slide the SK Plate up the SK5000 once more and install the SK5000 screws back in place. It will now look like Figure A.6
9. Reinstall Flow Bypass Triangle on the SK5000.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.synergyreef.com/installation-manuals/sk-sump-installation/installing-the-sk-plates-onto-the-clarisea-sk5000.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
