New RedSea Nanomat fit in a Waterbox?

[Arron209]

Which brand of silicone are you using?

I’m using some Aqueon silicone that I have left over. Some 100% silicone from the hardware store should be fine though.

Did anyone design the 3D mount for the Waterbox 35.2 which is 3.2" x 4.7"?

I could probably make one for you if you can take some measurements and pics for me. How far down are the tabs sitting from the back of the tank and how wide are the overflow teeth?

If I do it for the water box 50.3 do you think you could make one?

I’m working on a 3D printed adapter for the Peninsula 25 that works when you’ve cut out the filter sock supports

I love it!! How is it working?

Let me know if you can adapt for a 50.3

The fit is good so far. Just getting the height dialed in so the sensor in the ReefMat triggers and advances the filter media

I’m sure I can. I’ll just need the dimensions of that filter sock area for the 50.3

I’m sure I can. I’ll just need the dimensions of that filter sock area for the 50.3

Based on Waterbox's website, the filter sock area is 81mm x 120mm or 3.2" x 4.7"

4.7" or 120mm is front to back. 3.2" or 81mm is side to side, which is almost the same as the Waterbox 20, which is 80mm I believe. Assuming, that the file needs to be extended front to back to accommodate the 4.7", but keeping the hole where the Nanomat slips in?

Glass thickness is 10mm for the lip.

Can you also do one for the 35.2, the filter sock dimensions are the same as the 50.3 81mm x 120mm or 3.2" x 4.7"

Once I get it dialed in for mine I’ll work on it for different sizes

Sounds great looking forward to it. Mind sharing stl of yours?

Sorry I don’t give out the files I create. I’ll be selling the adapters on my Etsy store

I think I should be able to. What are the dimensions of the inside of the sock holder section. Also how wide is the overflow? I’ll post a pic of that I’m talking about lol.

RedSea NanoMat adapter up on my Etsy store

Alright had to take out my calipers for this.

All measurements are as if I’m facing front of the tank.

Sock Holder Area is 81mm (Left to Right) and 120mm (Front to Back)

Overflow Measurement:

Left Side of Tank to Edge of Overflow is 15mm. Total overflow length is 56mm. Right side of tank to edge of overflow is 11mm. That should equal 81mm the total right to left of dimension of the sock holder area.

These are the measurements for the WB 35.2

Tank glass thickness 8mm

All measurements are as if I’m facing front of the tank.

Sock Holder Area is 81mm (Left to Right) and 120mm (Front to Back)

Overflow Measurement:
