The title says it all. I know it sounds ridiculous. "Of course it does. It removes a majority of the waste before it has a chance to break down."
I guess I'm asking this: What has been the difference in your nutrients before and after installing a rollermat?
I installed a Clarisea SK5000 on my 40 breeder because I was lazy and never changed my filter socks every 2-3 days like you're supposed to. After installing, I've noticed it pulling out a ton of gunk. The water is now crystal clear after just 48 hours. I've read a ton of threads praising them for their filtering abilities, but none to my knowledge that speak to the difference in nitrate/phosphate.
I'd love to hear about your experiences. Hopefully this thread helps convince people to buy (or not buy) a rollermat.
