I get about 50 days out of a roll or roughly 29” average per day. Using both drains on a 200 gallon mixed reef with feeding heavy.How much fleece do you go through with both drains running through it, this is similar to what i am considering setting up.

No way I’m ever using anything else. It’s nice. Pristine water quality and very little effort.That’s reasonable for me.
I have a clearisea on my Red Sea 250. It’s very packed with coral and fish. They are all going into my new build with this reefmat. I only get about 2-3 weeks best case. I love the fleece roller. Looking forward to the new setup lasting a lot longerNo way I’m ever using anything else. It’s nice. Pristine water quality and very little effort.
Thats what i wanted to hear!!I get about 50 days out of a roll or roughly 29” average per day. Using both drains on a 200 gallon mixed reef with feeding heavy.
I also turned the mat advance length down to the smallest amount. You hear it more throughout the day but it helped make the roll last longer.Thats what i wanted to hear!!
I run my e drains through both my tanks reefmats also (500 and 1200). I did not hard plumb these thumb, I am not a fan of hard plumbing my reefmats, I like being able to have quick easy access into my sumps.
Agree to a significant extent and would say I am using a liberal definition of hard plumbing. Yes, I plan on using 1" Schedule 40 PVC and fittings. But I also want to be able to remove and service the ReefMat if necessary without cutting anything up. Intend on just dry fitting the inlet together. It's not under significant pressure so don't need to worry about the fittings bursting. And who really cares if I havr an occasional drip escape? It's in the sump.. The ability to remove and service far outweighs any cons.
Just want to verify what I'm looking at here because there is a lot of plumbing in a tight space. Do you have two drains plumbed into a tee hidden below the dirty fleece role? And the third fitting immediately adjacent to your dosing tubes is presumably your return? My only concern with plumbing them together in this manner is potential noise from the significant flow differences. The majority of inlet flow comes from the primary with only trickle or minimal from secondary. You've only got two so the second is your e drain? Any actual flow through it? I'll have a bean animal with emergency drain plumbed to fuge and rarely if ever used.
Here are pics of my Reefer 250 with a 500. I pulled the stock sump and put a 20L in. Much easier than having to hack up the original sump, and only $27.50.Agree to a significant extent and would say I am using a liberal definition of hard plumbing.
