I installed the aftermarket roll. It is working great.so they would accept the 1.5inch from reefmat and 2inch roll
Looks like you are getting the filter media from the same source I got!I installed the aftermarket roll. It is working great.
Mine shrunk, but the holes are still covered.Looks like you are getting the filter media from the same source I got!
Very clever idea to get it to fit the smaller core!
It also looks like you have similar issues I have. The Aftermarket rollers are paper based so the material will stretched/shrunk on the pick up side if there are too much tension on the setup.
It is not an issue if the filter rollers openings are far away from the outter edges!
For my BM, it was an issue (it shrunk and allowed water to leak out of the filter roller.
As you can see, it shrunk by almost an inch (22mm). I ended up glue pieces of acrylic to close out the outter opening.
That is good as the Redsea doesn't have holes all the way out to the edges.Mine shrunk, but the holes are still covered.
@mackdave - thanks for the detailed pics. Are you still using these and did you finish a roll?I installed the aftermarket roll. It is working great.
I’m running around 4’ a day on my 3rd roll. Mine is a predator tank and I had high nutrients and have been fighting Algea etc.Maybe a little. Should I reduce the flow? I have a Cor15 pump at 30% and a Sicce SDC6 at 35%.
I ordered these on amazon to go inside the roll. I will update when I change the roll.
To reduce the alarm I have set the fleece roller advance to its lowest setting, the water level then stays quite stable. I am finding usage high though, I have 100 Gal with SPS and LPS but only 1 fish as I had an Ich wipe-out, but am still going though a roll in about 4 to 5 weeks, after 3 months!For those running a ReefMat or any fleece roller type system and using an Apex with a ATO, how do you manage the constant high sump water level alarms? Seems like every time it advances the roll, more water passes through and triggers a high sump alarm for a while.
