I’m going to be setting up my first reef tank in the near future and was wondering if it would be better to start with a fleece roller or protein skimmer. If price and space aren’t a factor, which one would you recommend if my plan is to eventually have quite a bit of fish and then softie / LPS...
I've been reconsidering adding a Clarisea 5000 to my new tank but I'm a little confused on how it would work. My new custom waterbox has 3 drain lines on it. 1 main, a secondary and an emergency. They all end up in a long back chamber that I'm guessing minimizes bubbles. I know where it will go...

I’m setting up my first saltwater tank — it’s a 180-gallon display — and I could use some advice. Right now, I have a Red Sea 500 auto fleece roller, but my local fish store is recommending I upgrade to the Red Sea 1200.
Here’s my question:
Would it work if I added another 500 fleece roller...
Hello All,
So I have been using this new roller filter, and this would be the first tome to replace the fleece roll. I puchased some replacements at the same time - exactly for this type (even shown on the label). However the replacement is 15cm, while the original roll is 14cm wide.
Wherever I...
Basically I bought the Nuvo for my UNS 60a hoping it would fit properly in the chamber but the lip didn't fit properly. The overflow was too high compared to the entrance of the roller. This was a dry fit since it was a new setup so the Nuvo itself is open box but has never touched water. I...

I have torn down my tank and am selling everything I have relating to the hobby. I am selling an Innovative Marine Nuvo 20 Fusion Pro 2 aquarium with accessories.
The aquarium was drained, filled with citric acid, scrubbed, and rinsed with RODI water. All the equipment was...
Just picked up this drop in manual fleece roller for my IM 40L AIO. Really happy with the placement next to the protein skimmer but I have a question. What do I put in the open space at the base of the plastic towards the cone end (pictured). It looks like a place for additional filter media...
Does anyone know the steps in creating a custom automatic fleece roller? It seems no one took an interest in making an automatic fleece roller for the completely rare rectangular filter sock opening. If anyone can lead me to the right direction or if anyone knows of a company that makes one for...
Anybody abandoned the Trigger fleece roller and installed a diff brand on the trigger sump?
I’ve burned out 2 of their motors ($$$) in a year and it’s a pain to change fleece if it runs out on you.
I have a new in box Aquamaxx AF-1 automated fleece roller. I bought it a few months ago and decided to go in a different direction after getting intimidated by the plumbing (I am not very handy). Here are pictures from the BRS website. I have never opened the box. $180 shipped.
I have room to fit either size, the ReefMat 500 (up to 130 gallons) or ReefMat 1200 (up to 315 gallons) . I will be pushing up towards the rated limit of the ReefMat 500, is it better to go with that size or is bigger better in the scenario of fleece rollers?
Waterbox 150.4 (105 gallons...
First off, I’m getting great use out of my Trigger platinum sump and I generally like it. Buuut….
If you miss the timing to attach another fleece roll before the last one runs out… it is a major pain in the tuchus to thread a new fleece through the fleece rollers underwater, in an overstuffed...
Does anybody have a Cade S2 1200 with a reef mat installed in the return section where the 2 filter socks are?
Would love to see pics, issues you had, whatever you can say about getting that added would be great. Thanks!
I have posted about this before but my roller mat( I have the bubble magus gen 1 small) is going through fleece so fast. Last roll lasted 2 and half weeks. First roll lasted a month and a week. So not sure how it is using so much more now. Any advice how to make it go longer? I directed more...
Originally purchased a Reefmat 500 for my Waterbox 150.4 and found it to be a smidge undersized. Replaced it with a 1200 immediately.
It’s only been in use for 2-3 weeks with a single roll. So it’s about as new as used can get.
Looking for $300 and will include the 3 spare rolls I purchased...

I bought this in June and never used it. I have every thing that came with it, heater holders, filter tray, filter socks, acrylic lids, etc. I put the filter roller together and left it at that. Two rolls included, original roll and an extra...
I have three sk5000s, right now they're all currently disassembled but feel free to contact me for time stamped pics and I can even assemble them if you'd like. I keep them disassembled when I'm not using them and especially if I plan on selling them. They're fragile if you try to ship them...
Does anyone make a inline unit for plumbing that will catch larger debris such as dehydrated shrimp or other larger food waste , before the roller system ? So as I don’t get a collection of decaying food I have to remove the roller to get out ???
Hey everyone. I've had my waterbox cube 20 for about a month now and I've gotten some new equipment, including an ATO from fzone and an automatic filter fleece roller from Reef Rolls. However, these two pieces of equipment do not seem to be interacting well. The fleece roller uses a water level...

Hello reefing friends. I recently upgraded an IM25 Lagoon (pictured) to an IM50 Lagoon and I thought, what a great opportunity to start my first build thread. I’ve been in the hobby coming up on 3 years and have had a few different tanks in that time frame. Most have either been sold or in...
