Red Sea Mat (1 Viewer)

[GWSS]

Anyone know when they will become available?
Also i was looking at the specs and the compatibility matrix on the site says fits as is but here they want to put it in my opinion requires for the sumps with sick drawrs to be completely removed...
Anyone has gotten one and figured out where to put it best? (i say right at the down pipes of course.)

Here's a video of CTO modifying a sump for the reefmat. I heard reefmats demo units are going out to stores.

I ordered one and am awaiting when it is being shipped out will let all know how it goes, I am struggling mightily with clarity on my tank (see my build thread)...so hoping it will help.

have you tried carbon?

 

[GWSS]

I was just thinking about it ....but I get such conflicting advice on it....
And is it something i need to go get like maybe redsea reef carbon wash and put in a mesh in the pre-pump chamber or go for a cannister right there?
Not sure what to do with it
I mean I kept saying ...let it settle let it settle but is been now 2 months , and last 2 weeks basically 50 % changes x 6
Any advice as to which carbon and wether i toss it in like the purigen bags or truly go for a more sturdy solution? I am afraid I may remove too much out of the water too of course.
Just finsihed it ...its late but its the same already

Still waiting on deliver of this but I got the 1200 and the Mats, will post about it once I have it installed...
Am getting the tank going finally after a couple of months struggling with clarity, now next one is going to be the Reefmat and the integated 'showcase' water management system

This has been the best product I have bought for my tank.

^^^ Yeah lots of good reviews on the red sea Mat.

I have the trigger sump if the roller mat motor fails I'm getting the red sea.

I talked to the supplier he says I am hundreds behind the line...so am looking at a abit of a wait time but can't wait
All my other stuff is coming along nicely even if I say so myself
Debating before it arrive if I should redo/change the sump altogether tbh....

I feel like I’m in the same boat. have you ordered the sump modification tools for making the modifications? I ordered a set from fish tanks direct. It looks like it will help with cutting the silicone a lot. Red Sea has a YouTube video on using them. ReefMat Sump Modification Kit

I was incorrect about my position. I guess I am in the first round since I ordered the day they opened pre-orders. They sent me my tracking number for my ReefMat 500 today. It’s supposed to arrive by Saturday. I’ll let post when I get it installed on my 300 XL.

The ReefMat is here and installed. I also upgraded the valve to a spears gate valve at the same time. I would recommend the valve upgrade if you haven’t done it, because when the emergency drain is activated it is now unfiltered. With my RSR I’ve battled that valve constantly so the gate valve should keep my drain water going into the fleece. Big props to RedSea on the sump modification tools. It made modifying the sump a breeze!
