I used to cut down the RS500 rolls to work, but now the 250 rolls are a perfect fit. Although you have to use a 3/4 pvc pipe for the fresh roll because the hole is smaller. If you have any ?'s just DM me.

Bought a couple of these
Ended up getting RS 250 fleece. Everywhere was out of stock
Bought a couple more, just in case. It's a good price

This is true if maybe you are ordering one roll at a time, but most people don't place an order every month. I order for a year at a time on things during sales and such to save money and have items on stock. If I order one roll for every month at once, the cost for the RS rolls (6 packs, 2 rolls per pack) via BRS will be $129.93 plus tax, shipping included in the cost. Ordering 12 individual from Reef N Roll before tax and with shipping included is $147.83. Again you are looking at about an $18 difference for an entire year, it is not some huge jump in costs like you imply. You however are just looking at the check out amount.
You need to take into consideration the length of the rolls. That order is going to give me 708 ft of roll from RS, but 960 ft of roll from RNR. That makes RS's cost per foot of roll $0.18 and RNR's $0.15 per foot. Cost per foot is cheaper with RNR.
If you even out the feet of roll to match for a more even comparison, you only have to order 9 rolls from RNR to just slightly exceed RS's 12 rolls. The price per ft increases a little for RNR but still remains cheaper than RS's price per ft. Your purchase price for RN also drops down to $117.68 plus tax, shipping included already. Your cost for the year is now $12 cheaper than RS.

These are NOT Red Sea fleece rolls
And I bought 4 of them because Red Sea Rolls are out of stock everywhere
Very low cheap Chinese quality
They are even cheaper quality than the previous generic roll under this listing
The 3 remaining rolls are going back as soon as Red Sea is back in stock
One could say I was fleeced
So with these cheap rolls, would you say they would fall apart or just bigger than 200µ. Where I am going with this is sometimes I just use my skimmer instead of my 170 fleece roller. But maybe I just want to catch some big stuff like scraping some coraline or the occasional GHA. would this suffice or is it just junk and I would probably get a heap of micro plastics in my system?

The RS 250 are high quality
These Amazon ones are virtually see through, and blotchy. Toilet paper is thicker
I couldn't tell you the micros, anywhere from 200 to 900 perhaps
Which sucks, because the first ones I got with that listing(not faux RS250) were very usable
I would post a picture, but I'm not opening the ones I didn't install
I have a reef diaper after the roller mat, so I'm not concerned about filtration. Its just a waste of money is all

Let’s bump this back up for all to see.
People are starting to receive their Nanomats, so want to see if they are making it work.

That should fit perfectly! I was hoping someone would have it for the Waterbox AIO tanks. I heard it fits but I think some sort of 3D printed bracket needs to be made.

I can confirm that the nanomat fleece roller works with the Waterbox 20, I have mine already installed, included adapter wont work, the roller have to be raised around 36mm with a DIY adapter (3d print etc) I can add photos later if someone wants to see.
Yes please send pics. I’ll need to print an adapter too
