ThanksLuv your design btw
911ffw1 100% polyester featherweight, You can also get it with a thicker micron, It does not say any micron on it , What i did was bring a sock with me and hold the paper with the lights above to see how much i could see through it. best part is you can try all different and see what works best for your system.Sounds great. So can you share a link or a description of what you are using now.
I plan on building this for my setup one of these days. So many reeef projects planned here in the future.
First off thank you and everyone that has been following this post. This is a question many ask, does the paper smell, no it does not because the paper always is moist, does not have time to dry out in turn start to decay and smell. Second is your protien skimmer will work less as the filter paper turns more often then you change a filter sock you are less apt to put the junk back into the water columb!Ray and others, many thanks for taking your time to post your findings about the roller filter. I too like to design my system to make my maintenance easier (more time with my family, etc). Question: Does the used roller smell? My skimmer, when running, doesn't smell at all, but I would think that the used filter paper would start to stink pretty bad after a couple of days. Thoughts?
give me some dimentions and i can build what you need.Ray, or anyone else, know of anyone building custom sumps with a built in rollormat filter? Or how about buying a Theiling Rollormat and building a sump around it? thoughts?
In the begining they both were pretty close , then as weeks went by the filter sock tank phosphates rose fast as to were the roller filter tank was steady, the filer sock tank was getting really cloudy also. In the end after running for over 2 months I shut them down as to were the difference was clear and in the vids it shows the results. some will still swear by there filter socks but all i can say is I WILL NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER USE A NASTY WATER POLLUTING FITER SOCK AGAIN!Sorry if was said or not as I did not want to go through the 9 pages. Did you happen to do a comparison of Nitrate and Phosphate between the 2 tanks?
Yes i did, and i also see some on youtube making there own!I thought that would be the outcome. I would love to have Roller Filter between that and a good skimmer tanks would take on a new meaning of clean by both Particulate and Nitrate and Phosphate, as both remove the garb right from the water column. Did you make yours?
