Water passes through a continuously advancing strip of fine polyester fleece, and the unit's smart drive feeds fresh fleece from the roll as the loaded section clogs, so mechanical filtration keeps working without you rinsing a sock. It's built for a marine or reef system already running enough flow to make use of it, and connects to the Red Sea ReefBeat app for monitoring and fleece-change alerts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-advancing fleece roll\u003c\/strong\u003e — solid-state water level sensors trigger the next section of fleece automatically, so mechanical filtration doesn't stall between visits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e35 m fleece roll included\u003c\/strong\u003e — a single roll runs for weeks before it needs replacing, and spare rolls are stocked separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReefBeat app monitoring\u003c\/strong\u003e — get an alert when the roll is running low, without checking the cabinet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWall or floor mounting\u003c\/strong\u003e — ships with mounting legs and can also be wall-mounted where sump space is tight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e700 mL media basket\u003c\/strong\u003e — built into the unit body, so it doesn't add a second footprint to the sump.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrugated inlet hose included\u003c\/strong\u003e — kink-resistant 25 mm (1\") hose with a USA\/metric PVC connector, ready to plumb to your overflow or drain line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRecommended system size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 1,200 L (315 US gal)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaximum flow capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9,000 L\/h (2,380 GPH)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUnit dimensions (W x D x H)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27 x 30 x 48 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFleece width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFleece roll length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMedia basket capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e700 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInlet hose\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 mm (1\") corrugated, USA\/metric PVC connector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWater level sensing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid-state internal and external sensors, no moving parts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSalinity detection\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConductivity-based — saltwater only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eControl\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed Sea ReefBeat app (Wi-Fi); runs on its last setting without a network connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAA2308\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Sea has not published the ReefMat 1200's power draw, operating voltage or unit weight — if any of these is a deciding factor for your install, ask us to check with Red Sea before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich ReefMat do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRecommended system size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax flow\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFleece width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFleece roll length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReefMat 250\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 250 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3,500 L\/h\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReefMat 500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 500 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6,000 L\/h\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.3 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReefMat 1200 (this page)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 1,200 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9,000 L\/h\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize to your system volume, not your display volume alone — a sump adds to the total the ReefMat is filtering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9,000 L\/h is Red Sea's maximum flow figure for the ReefMat 1200. The unit's inlet is a fixed 25 mm (1\") corrugated hose, so on a very high-flow drain line it's that hose diameter — not the pump feeding it — that ultimately limits how much water reaches the fleece. Red Sea has not published a flow-with-media-loaded or turnover derating curve for the ReefMat range, so treat the headline figure as a best case rather than a guaranteed sustained rate. If your overflow runs well above typical reef drain rates, ask us to check sizing before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuited to marine and reef systems up to 1,200 L that want sock-free mechanical filtration and are already running the flow to justify it.
