Reef Mat broken already!!

This video is about our trouble with the Red Sea Reef Mat 1200. We show how we fixed it and it was easy.

[@J_ellis709]

Thank you for the video! I hope I don’t need it, but because of you, I will be ready.

[@Coralgardens]

I hope you don’t need to fix yours.

[@bosstang3355]

It is an easy fix but they obviously have a defective design. I have had to replace two motors in my Reef Mat 500. The second time I asked for two replacements but they only sent one. They told me the second one was a new design and shouldn't fail. I can't believe this didn't come up in pre release testing.

Great video. Thank you for sharing. I don't know if this matters. it looks like the fleece roll is in on the other way around.

[@Coralgardens]

Yes you are absolutely right, I didn’t even notice I had done that. Thank you for pointing that out for me🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@fishstix1988]

would you still recommend it to others even with the issue you had?

[@lazarogonzalez4537]

Mine does not turn on its own after having to change it out I have to do it manually now please help how do I fix this

[@stuartkowald2943]

That’s it you have shown me the last video I’ll ever watch of Red Sea there tanks seals let go within 5 years there products seem like they just pushed them out to make money without testing and there only response is if it’s not working replace it. My new tank will be a Cade and there will be no Red Sea products anywhere on out

When mine gets near the end of the roll I have had a couple of jams. The fleece tends to literally stick to the sides. I hope yours is good after the repair.

[@Coralgardens]

It has been working great since the repair, I hope that’s the last time I need to do that lol.

@@Coralgardens Great. I'm with you in that I could never go back to filter socks. I'll be following the channel.👍🏾👍🏾

@@GwonkReefkeeping thanks!! I also subscribed to yours today👍

[@Babebabedoll]

I think the motor too small when the roll get wet its very heavy that will make motor working harder I think🤔🤔🤔

[@Freedom69881]

They want to package all future gear with an extra this that and the other. Hearing way to many problems with there accessories

[@rajramkison3144]

Is there a part number for this? Having the same issue.

[@Coralgardens]

The part is only available from Red Sea you will need to get it from them. It’s not a item for re sale apparently

[@rajramkison3144]

@@Coralgardens I did a little searching. I found it for any those that are or may have this issue in the future. The part number is: R35473

[@grimcarnage4309]

How do you feel about your protein skimmer?

[@Coralgardens]

The protein skimmer is working just fine, I would say my only complaint would be it’s not quiet. Next time I will get a dc skimmer I think. Red Sea has a conversion for this skimmer to be changed to dc I may try that one day. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@DoYouEvenFishTank]

Is there no seals at all? Also why not make them send you a whole new box, why accept changing the motor?? Looks like there is no conformal coating on the circuit board either, typical redsea nasty electronics and hardware junk in a pretty box.....
