Reefmat 1200 raising

[NotoriousDMC]

Mind sharing the part and/or a pic of the assembly?

Took me 2 full rolls to get down to about 30” a day. I was about to put a old skimmer riser under it to raise it up. Maybe give it some time first.

Y’all are getting way more out of a roll than I am, and I realize that part of my extra usage over the last 3 weeks has been my new diamond goby stirring up my sand bed, but I’m averaging 88 inches a day and I’m on my 6th roll. I didn’t think my tank was that bad to start with, lol, my test numbers were stable and consistent even before adding the ReefMat.

Anybody else suggestion on how to raise the unit by using existing legs? Wish we can get replacement legs that adjust.

I used large frag disc. Two high per leg.

Agreed and wish they made a 90 degree bend to get the unit as close as possible to down-pipe.

you could probably get some plumbing pieces to make that, I am sure somebody has done it.

I have to figure out how to raise mine (500). Might try multiple frag disks. I’m going through rolls every 10-14 days. Not just once….the last 4 rolls. Mine hangs on the sump of the 525xl G2 sump. The legs are actually going to make it lower than it is now. If I try to play with sump water heights, it messes with my skimmer height which is dialed in. Good times!

Going to give this a try. Cheap….won’t collect detritus.

keep us posted how it works. can you list the parts you used?

I can get parts. Because one screws into the other, they have an inch of adjustability. But…. Still running a 130” daily average even with it up 2” higher than hanging on the sump glass. High enough that I get the occasional gurgle.
The roll is on course for 9-10 days. That’s been the case for far too long. I love the tech. I love how clear my water is and the fact that my nitrates are very low. But this is getting expensive.

I wonder if water flow into the Reefmat has anything to do with it? I have a large 500 g fowlr overstocked with large angels, triggers, I feed heavily too (auto feeders at 12 times a day pellets and nori daily). With nori, I average 45” daily. Without nori (because of a week on vacation) I’d avg 30” daily.

I use the legs and a jebao dcp2500 return pump (~700gph) so maybe not enough flow in my Reefmat 1200 to use up the roll faster than expected? Should last around 1.5 - 2 months at this pace (which is fine for me).

less flow will def use less material.
