Red Sea - ReefMat 1200 question

[JonoH]

So I ended up ordering rolls from Ali express and seems to be so dense that I am lucky to get 1 week out of a roll vs. 3 weeks from the ones at BRS. Curious what source you use from Ali Express? there are many that sell and I want to try another source if possible. I also tried to contact Precision Converting several times and no answer. used form online and no response either.

These are the ones i bought last time - they are lasting about 6 weeks a roll.

Looking on the site now, they do have Red Sea ones also for around the same price

That's a little strange, perhaps Steve might be on vacation.

Awesome, thanks! so looks like there are a few options. Did you purchase the ocean wonders ones as they are cheaper, or the red sea?

I am currently using the Ocean Wonder ones, and they have been fine, maybe slightly higher usage than the OEM one's, but not much.
Have also used a no name brand one there, and they were fine also.
