Reef Factory Roller Mat replacement rolls

[tymo92]

I unfortunately picked up a Reef Factory Smart Roller M right before they filed for Bankruptcy this year and am realizing there aren’t any replacement rolls in stock online I can find.

Anyone else have this predicament and thoughts on a solution? I guess worst case I can wash and reuse the rolls, but that sounds like a pain.

Yes - used Precision Converting to make replacement rolls. $11/roll. I just put my first one on the mat a couple days ago and it’s working great. An adapter is needed to reduce the inner diameter of the rolls. A guy named David Mack (PreCon can connect you) makes them for $20 shipped.

I use them for my 4 RS rollers. You know you can take the original tube that is now empty and wrap some fleece on it. Likely no different then I do like this, save yourself $20:

Do you have a link to the rolls?

You need to reach out to them via contact form on their website. It isn’t a stock item. I’m running 50 micron but they offer smaller sizes as well.

I just got some alliexpress replacement candidates in the mail today. The texture of the new one reminds me of the red sea filter mat material which i always heard was 100-200 micron which i don't consider a bad thing if true. Given the reef factory app requires you to enter the diameter of the roll as input, i am going to go noodle out how much to lie about the diameter given the core size is smaller / there only being 25M on this roll vs i thought the originals are 50M?
The item was "25m/Roll Filter Replacement Set for BUBBLE MAGUS ARF-S ARF-M ARF-L Automatic Roll Filter Nylon Filter Sock Bio Filter 10/15/20CM" - and this is the 20CM one for the medium
