I have the 1200. Yes. No changing of socks. Ever. Forever and ever.

I have a reefmat 250 on my RS reefer 250. I love it and highly recommend It but I’ll give you some pros and one con. Pros: the roll lasts forever, I’m talking months. The rolls are pretty cheap. Also, RS reef beat app lets you know when it’s time to change the roll. I find that super convenient. It also gives you other alerts. The roll is also very easy to change out. Just have to make sure you install it correctly. It 100% beats changing filter socks IMO.

My one con is this, I added my reefmat in the very early stages of starting my tank. I struggled with keeping my nutrients up with my newly established tank and ran into the issues that follow suit with bottomed out nutrients. Hope this helps.
 
I have a nanomat on a 30 gallon. I wondered how well it would work without being able to control it with ReefBeat, but I've been pleased so far. It's also a new tank, and I've had trouble with nutrients as well, so I run it 6 hours on, 6 hours off with a Hydros controller.
