Fleece Filter Roller Size and ?

[Reef_Clown]

I have a 60g cube with a 40g sump.
I’m considering adding a fleece roller and looking at the Red Sea ReefMat 500.
The 1200 is only $50 more though…
Is there any problem running bigger? Thinking this would just help to future proof me a bit when I upgrade from the 60.
Thoughts? Also, is this the best fleece roller at the moment?

Take a look @ Reef Factory units. You would need the small one.
Champion Lighting is the supplier. Plenty of reviews out there.

Thanks! But is there any issue going bigger with these?

I really don't know, BUT if you have one in use & need a skimmer, they say to drop the size by 1.

Cant see any reason as to why you couldnt go bigger other than it maybe not fitting in your sump?
The 1200 is huge and only just fits into my 67 Gal sump on my 220 Gal tank.

If you have the room then a larger unit would be ideal for the marginal price increase.
The larger rolls also would need less changing on a smaller tank which is a huge plus imo.

Hi There

My Red Sea 500 works extremely well. Each roll lasts 3 months as I guess the water is now clean.

Sometimes I wonder if the roller takes too much out. Have now started feeding a little more .
