The Red Sea ReefMat is a plug-and-play, fully automated, smart fleece roller filter that keeps your aquarium water crystal clear for weeks at a time. Designed for the modern hobbyist, it features a smart drive unit connected to the ReefBeat ecosystem, providing real-time monitoring and notifications directly to your mobile device. The efficient, high-flow 50 $g/m^2$ non-woven polyester fleece-mat traps suspended waste before it can break down, significantly reducing maintenance and improving nutrient control.
Choose the ideal ReefMat model based on your system volume and flow requirements. These units are designed for easy installation, featuring both hanging options and mounting legs to fit a wide variety of sump configurations.

How long does a single fleece roll last?
Usage varies by bio-load and feeding regime, but typically a roll lasts between 5 to 8 weeks on a moderately stocked system. The ReefBeat app monitors daily average use and notifies you exactly how many days are left.
Can the ReefMat be used in freshwater aquariums?
No. The water level sensor uses conductivity (salinity) to detect water levels, meaning it is suitable for seawater aquariums only.
Will it affect my protein skimmer?
The fleece material is inert and does not chemically affect performance. However, because it removes waste so efficiently, it can prevent over-skimming by capturing particles before they reach the skimmer.
