Would you still recommend this? Im looking to buy a roller and this seems the smaller sized one i can find that looks decent.. ive just cut all the baffles out of my sump to get a mat in lol
Yeah it works really well. New they come with a flex pipe for easy installation but mine is hard plumbed. Could be a pig to change the roll if it goes all the way through so I just staple the new roll onto the end of the current one and pull it through
@@fatttymclad i am making my own sump i have already cut my baffles out as it was a sock style sump and will never use the ato so customising it as I type lol, si either will fit but i just want to try have enough room left for a skimmer section, small ref section and then my return section but also want best value lol. Its hard 🤣🤣
No I put a second £10 from Amazon on it. Goes into my UV and then through my phosphate reactor. Probably doesn't do much for ich but keeps the water clear
Great video I just got the gen 2. My question, i have set the water level to the line of the roller. Same as my ATO sensor. Then water level drops as the roller gets clogged. ATO kicks on but has a auto shut off to not overflow. Duetto ATO. For a nano. But my system is 270g now. Should i changout the ATO for a larger system one? Or just let the roller do its thing
A big system like that then the ATO putting some extra water in wouldn't matter as it never does in mine. It would all depend on the flow rate for if it's big enough. Only ever used this roller so not sure how other ones would perform
It's a 5ft by 2ft by 2ft and the book says it's 425l before any displacement. I have an auto feeder put a small amount of flake in twice a day and a feed at night and it seems to stop them fighting

@@fatttymclad in that case its either this or the clarisea gen 3 🤔🤔, i like the reefmat but its just to big lol
I would look at what has enough capacity and what will fit. Would be worth looking up some more reviews for them. I am sure either would be fine

Hello friend, what sizes of your display tank? I want put a shcool of green chromis here too
It's a 5ft by 2ft by 2ft and the book says it's 425l before any displacement. I have an auto feeder put a small amount of flake in twice a day and a feed at night and it seems to stop them fighting
What is the model of the roller filter?Is it large or medium?
Hi, it's a bubble megas one and it's suitable for tanks up to 600l. It's pretty big in the sump
Thanx buddy
What is your tank size?
Is it bubble magus ARF 1(size-large)
It's a 5ft X 2f5 X 2ft tank. Book says 425l on top and 75ish in the sump. Yeah I thinking it's the mark 1 large. I got it second hand in my local shop
