Hello

I have a Waterbox 190.5 and having trouble deciding on adding a Reefmat 500 or 1200. The tank is 136.6 gallons with a 47.4 gallon sump which is just over the rating for the 500. But, the 500 could easily fit in the filter sock chamber. The 1200 would be big enough but would have to go into the middle sump chamber with the skimmer. I have an external refugium that returns into the back channel so I'm not worried about flow getting back there.

If I went with the 500 would I potentially be using more filter roll then the 1200?
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?

  • I have used a HOB on fish only or quarantine tanks, but not on the display tank.
