I have a ReefMat 1200 that is using 200cm a day. I am sending around 700gpm through it. My tank is a Redsea XXL750. Any thoughts on how to reduce the daily usage? I have tried other auto lengths.

That’s good to hear. I wonder if I had it advance more when triggered if it would make a difference. I’m scared to experiment to much, I only have one roll left. And my local store is out.I have the exact same issue.ive had to turn my return pump way down to counter this.
I swapped it out for from my clarisea in which a roll would last 6 weeks my forest red sea reefmat 500 roll has lasted 1 week!!I can't see it's going to pull out way more gunk than the clarisea...I guess I'll see what roll number 2 does
why did you go from clarisea to reefmat?I have the exact same issue.ive had to turn my return pump way down to counter this.

I will tell you that I used to brew perfect coffee with my skimmer, before the Rollermat. Now, it’s just a jumbo airstone with hardly any skimmate. Also, I have to dose nitrate and phosphate now. Like I said, they work too well. I can let water bypass the fleece, but I just don’t have the heart to do that.Great tips! I installed the Bubble Magus Medium sized roller at the beginning of May. The 1st roll lasted less than 13 days. I was a bit concern with the consumption; raised the unit up about 3 inches and it has about 1/5 of a roll left to go after 20 days. Definitely noticed better water clarity, less smelly tank and sump and less (not as dark skimmate)
The ease of changing the filter roll.why did you go from clarisea to reefmat?
thank you for sharing that link!Yes, my skimmate was super dark with a nice crusty build-up on the skimmer neck prior to using Fleece Roller.
Based on recommendations of some reefer here, I ordered custom 50 microns and 80 microns rolls from https://preconfilter.com/products. Hopefully they will wormk better and a cheaper alternative to BM roll (at $20/roll and only last 2-3 weeks).
You're welcome! Contact them via their website; very responsive and knowledgeable. Great prices as well.thank you for sharing that link!
Do they cut it to the proper width?Yes, my skimmate was super dark with a nice crusty build-up on the skimmer neck prior to using Fleece Roller.

You can ask Steve @ precision what he has available. I known they do 4" and 6" rolls, but its a 2" core (I roll it down to a smaller 1 1/2" core). I've been using precision over a year now. Its kind of a diy setup, but its a viable and great alternative to high cost rolls from the mfg.Do they cut it to the proper width?
