Am I the only one who thinks the design of the ReefMat is far from optimal?
Specially the mount for the "used roll" side.
I'm posting this to see if I'm missing something or in case someone has some tricks to make the roll change process smoother.
I've had the ReefMat 1200 on a 260gal tank working for 3 months. In average I have to change to a new roll every 2 weeks. That's 6 roll changes so far.
And every single time it's a pain in the a**.
The first 2 times I watched some YouTube videos to understand all the steps.
After that I've showed 2 aquarium helpers (for when I travel) how to change the roll... and every time I'm kind of waiting when one of the many small plastic parts will break.
The worst part is removing the used roll from the rear red "take up shaft".
Is there a trick to remove the roll without forcing it and having red parts flying all over?
I'm seriously thinking of ordering spare parts to have at hand for when some parts break.
Thanks!
