[QUOTE="Occasional_panner, post: 492456, member: 7956"] just to follow up on this, I didn't mention if I can't lug the BIG pump that is required for the (small) 10 inch dream matt, I just use the small pump and use the old style cross riffles and carpet. Some will cringe at this concept, but quite simply, cross riffles work far better if you can't provide enough water. Total bastard to clean up, but they work with far less water. Just like superannuation, don't put all your eggs in one basket. Different tool for a different application, one isn't better than another, but they have distinct advantages in different areas. I think far too many people default to dream matt, thinking it will work perfectly, when in fact they should be using the old style riffles for their set ups. Far too many people don't run enough water through this type of matt, and they would actually be collecting more with the old antique methods. [/QUOTE]
