Red Sea NanoMat fit in an IM 25gal Lagoon?

[thefeds]

Greetings, wondering if anyone has knowledge of whether this nanomat would fit the IM 25gal AIO Lagoon? https://redseafish.com/hardware/nanomat/

I can't guarantee but looks like the bottom dimensions of the roller is 2.4"x2.6" and the chamber in the IM 25 Lagoon is 2.8"x2.8" so should fit. You'll probably need to find a way to secure it or place something under it to keep it from sitting too low.

Yea I saw the measurements too, but am not sure as these things are new to me. I did reach out to IM as well. I am really digging the automated feature, as all the others I've seen are manual.

IM said they don't know anything about the RedSea fitting in their tanks...I guess I am not surprised as it is a competitor. I asked if they are coming out with an auto roller soon and they said RD is working on one. No timeline though...They have theirs on clearance now and I am wondering if I should get one or just wait.

Try this out.

New RedSea Nanomat fit in a Waterbox?

Thank you for the suggestion! 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.

thanks man, appreciate it.

I don't know if you made your purchase yet, and I do see where the RedSea roller works "automagically", but here's two options for a manual roller that seems perfectly suited to your tank.

Thanks Fish Fan, I've seen those two options, but I would like an auto roller.

I saw that they have an automated roller now, but I couldn't find this thread to let the OP know lol!

I'd be interested to know more about how it works once you get it, and if you wouldn't mind.

 

[thefeds]

I will try and give a report once I have it installed and running.

Alright, granted I just took delivery on this item and have only just installed it. Packaging was great as usual from IM. I unboxed it, took the sticky film off the filter roller, removed the filter sock I had in place and dropped it into the right filter section. I have a InTank media basket in the left section with GFO and Carbon. This auto roller is very simple and not much to config. Basically, there are three options, and they are based on bio load. the roller will auto roll for 8 seconds low bio load, 12 seconds medium bio load and 16 seconds high bio load every 12 hours. I am currently set to low. See the image I attached. There are plastic thumb screws to remove the controller. I am still unclear if I can use the manual filters that IM sells. I assume yes but will want to find out for sure.

Looks good. How loud is it when it advances?

I’ve confirmed with IM that they use the same rolls as the manual versions.

sounds like a bunch of small gears moving. I only pressed the manual button for a quick second, but it definitely can be heard. I only hope it advances in the early am or late night when I am not in the office. Thanks for confirming the rolls, will need to stock up on those soon.
