Red sea fleese rollers??

[Jordan518]

Does anyone have experience with these and are they worth it? Thinking of adding to my filtration I have pretty clear water but there are some particles I can see floating around would like someone's opinion that has used these before thanks!

I use one on my display and I love it.

Is it complicated to install/use and how is the tuning on it seen a few post here said it likes to re-adjust itself?

 

[TX_REEF]

I haven't had any issues with it, just set it up, connect to app, and replace the fleece roll as needed. The app warns you when it's running low.

Awesome I ordered it so can't wait for it to get here

Had it on my Red Sea tank from day 1. Probably the best product that RedSea sells, IMO. Stupid simple, works, and easy to replace the roll. And no more cleaning socks!

I agree it’s probably the best product they make. That and there ATO. I did however have the motor freeze up within a year. They were quick to replace it. Seems like a common problem they have.

I do enjoy the ATO I have the g2+ it all came together with the ATO resivor I just wish that was a touch bigger but I have plans on a larger one

Yeah the reservoir is kinda useless but the new ato and pump are pretty solid. I like how you can see the level and add from the app when away that’s handy.

What tank are you installing the roller on? The only down side to the roller is it has a flex hose. I have the 250 so I have a smaller sump. The house pushes it out further in my sump so I loose space. I’m replacing the stock valve and am going to hard plumb the roller with a 90 so that’ll be a huge difference with room. The 250 roller has a 90 degree fitting. It wasn’t available when I bought my 500.

Best fleece roller on the market, in my opinion. They are easy to use and install. The main issue you need to worry about is the size, these things are enormous.

Oh boy I hope you went with the 250?

I really have nothing to add to what everyone else is saying, but I will also say that its worth every penny. I was hesitant to get it since I never ran any mechanical filtration on my previous tank ( I hated swapping out socks), but got it on my new larger system and its great.

 

[OctaviusBrine]

Sure did

Nice you’ll have to let us know how that one does. It’s a bit different from all there other ones.

How to install a ReefMat in Red Sea’s sumps

Installing a ReefMat unit is extremely easy. The ReefMat 250 fits into small sumps with minimal or no modifications required. The ReefMat 500 & 1200 fit into all REEFER G2 systems, and might require some modifications in other systems.
