RedSea Roller Mat 1200 Install Question

[Hair Algae Wizard]

Folks,

I've plumbed in my RedSea 1200 but have not actually started using it yet. (It's not even plugged in) Should it be overflowing like the video below shows?

Oh, and apologies for the poor quality! Thanks in advance!

Mine is a 500. It looks like you might need to raise it up. Mine only overflows like that when the floss is dirty and I have auto advance disabled.

Looks like it's a little low in the water

Is it in freshwater? The sensor wont trigger in freshwater at all

At the moment, it is just fresh water. I don't have the unit plugged in. I'm leak-testing the system. I'll be adding salt shortly.

Re-watching the video, the water shouldn't be overflowing like that considering how low the water is in relation to the feed pipe (not an issue) unless the fleece is clogged (doesn't look like it to me?) Or the media basket (if installed) is causing significant back flow.

Thanks, I'll take another look at it tomorrow.
