We have been waiting quite a while for a product like the Theiling Automatic Rollermat. With the Theiling Rollermat it will automatically unroll fresh new fleece to trap and collect free-floating debris and detritus from your aquarium. Usually, anyone that runs filter socks in their sump will have a few handfuls of socks laying around that need to be cleaned and can take up quite a bit of space. With the 12v electric motor dirty fleece will be removed from the water allowing new media to take its place when the current fleece is starting to clog.
- Automatic rejuvenation of mechanical filtration media
- No more changing or washing filter socks
- Detritus is removed from water column preventing the breakdown into ammonia
- Drains can be plumbed directly to input or on a stand-alone pump
- 12v operation for low energy consumption
Recommended flow rates between 200-600 gph through the Theiling Rollermat.
Plumbing Info
Due to the manufacturer of this product being in Germany the bulkheads that are already installed on the Rollermat are metric. If you wish to use US (standard) bulkheads for the input and emergency drain we suggest purchasing the Theiling Adapter Kit. Please note the main drain is a metric bulkhead that cannot be replaced with a standard bulkhead.
Main Drain:
40mm ABS Bulkhead - To convert to standard US size plumbing we recommend using the 40 mm to 1 1/4" adapter
Input:
40mm ABS Bulkhead - To convert to standard US size plumbing we recommend using the 40 mm to 1 1/4" adapter
Emergency Drain:
25mm ABS Bulkhead - To convert to standard US size plumbing we recommend using the 25mm to 3/4" adapter
Dimensions: 17" long X 10" wide X 19" tall
Whats included:
1x Rollermat unit
1x Power Supply
1x Roll of Fleece
2x 40mm ABS Bulkhead
1x 25mm ABS Bulkhead
Your tanks drain line can be directly attached to the input of the Rollermat, or a stand-alone pump can be used. We do prefer to use a DC controlled pump for ultimate flow control but any pump up to 600 gph will do just fine.

Product Questions
The Theiling rollermat is designed to operate above the water level of your sump so that the processed water can freely spill into the sump. There isn't really a min/max water level required, aside from making sure the water can flow freely down and out of the central bulkhead and into your sump.
Happy reefing!
The Theiling Rollermat can be plumbed in a variety of ways. The easiest would be to let your tanks main drain flow directly into the rollermats intake. It is not all that small, and if you could set it on top of your sump that would work, however the rollermat will need to freely drain into your sump. If you place the rollermat in your sump, you will need to be cautious of the water levels and how water how water flows through it. If you cut a rectangle out of cardboard or something stiff with the dimensions of 17 x 10 inches, then you could “test fit” it first.
The Roller Mat’s overall tank size rating will highly depend on the bio-load and overall amount of free-floating particles it needs to remove. For larger tanks, you may need multiple rollermats, as they are only rated to handle 600 GPH or you could have a stand-alone pump deliver water to the rollermat as well.
The Theiling Roller Mat comes with a 1 year warranty from the date of purchase.
If you have any other questions just let us know. : )
The Theiling Roller Mat does come with 1x fleece roll. We would suggest picking up an extra just to have on hand for when it is time to change it out.
Will vary on how much waste it put in however standard is around 2.5 months.
If this is in a cabinet below the aquarium with a sump, space is at a premium, so I'm challenged to fit this in.
How does it mount? The plumbing is clearly coming out on one side, but it looks like the back isn't flat either, thanks to the motor sticking out. Seems like the motor should have been mounted on the front so you had at least one completely flat side to mount it.
In order to fully remove the lid with the roll you will need an additional 6" above the 19" of the unit itself. This does not really have a mounting option but rather can be placed in the sump on a stand or external on a stand.
