I would imagine the longer you use it the longer the rolls will last no ?
Ok so it's 13.99/roll. So each roll would say last 20 days (think I am being generous). So you end up buying say 18 rolls a year. At 13.99 that's $250 a year. Not bad. Not good.
So really you are getting the unit for convenience more than anything else. There are less expensive approaches I think that give the same/better results.
I installed one on a IceCap 30 reef sump, about a month ago. I choose a IceCap sump for a 100% compatibility. I have to admit, I am very very disappointed. First of all I want it to use two filters but unfortunately I couldn’t. Two filters in the 30 reef sump don’t fit facing the same direction, one have to be facing the from and one facing the back and the motor sticks out about 5” and the stand door don’t close
So I am using only one. It seem to keep up with the flow but the sump is never been as dirty as it is now. Not to mention that I have to clean the glass ones a day instead of ones a week. I am thinking about going back to filter socks.
I assumed a previous comment of $30 meant $30 per roll. My mistake. Unfortunately many report that they might need 2 rolls a month. Either way... My point stands. It's very pricey when alternatives are still as effective. Not to mention many people don't even like using filter socks if they have other means for nutrient export.14 x 12 doesn't seem like $360?
Changed my second roll this morning. I got 12 days on roll number 2.
$250 for unit
1 roll per month $360 (I'm sure it depends on how much you feed)
$610 (no tax) for first year.
Alternative....
$25 filter cup
$50 buy filter floss in bulk (lasts me about a year). All I do is cut up into 7in squares (1 hr of my time to cut up squares for the year). Replace floss 2-3 times a week. No cleaning just throw in trash.
Total for the year <$100
I'll save my money for coral...
Just my opinion of course.
