This article was originally written in December 2021 so we decided to update the article and introduce the newer Red Sea 250 for smaller aquariums. Keep reading to learn more about each ReefMat to see if it might be right for your aquarium.
Red Sea first introduced the ReefMat model 500 & 1200 back in 2021. The ReefMat line is a plug & play, fully automated, smart fleece roller filter system. Each ReefMat is designed to clean your aquarium water and replaced the need for aquarium filter socks. Rollermat filters are not new in the saltwater aquarium hobby but this device may make it even easier to install and maintain than some of the fleece roller systems on the market today.
One of the nicest features with the ReefMat is how simple it is to replace the fleece rolls. The easy replacement system allows the user to switch rolls without having to remove the filter from the sump, or even turn off the pumps.
ReefMat includes a fail-proof solid-state level sensor, and a smart drive unit that controls and monitors the exact length of the used mat. Red Sea customers will also be excited that the ReefMat connects via Wi-Fi to Red Sea’s ReefBeat smart aquarium eco-system so there is no guessing on when the roller mat needs replacing. The ReefMat will notify if the roll gets torn or runs out of fleece. Additionally the ReefMat will provide you with a daily usage log.
The ReefMat features include:
Each model ReefMat is available from Aquarium Specialty along with the full line of Red Sea products.
