Benefits of roller filters over static mechanical
filters
Static mechanical filters such as micron socks, floss, pads etc. do a
good job of trapping filter particles. However until these static filters
are removed and washed, the trapped particles remain in the water
and gradually decompose adding nutrients (nitrate and phosphate) to
the system. Using a correctly rated roller filter will physically remove
all collected particles within about a day, significantly reducing their
decomposition. Due to the efficiency of the ReefMat, especially with
carbon in the built-in media basket, you may well notice a drop in
nutrient levels shortly after it is added to an established aquarium.

Hang-on Installation
For ease of maintenance, it is recommended to hang the ReefMat on the
front wall of the sump. For this installation insert the rubber spacers to
the bottom front of the filter chamber
