First I want to say High Plains is great! Quick shipping and have never had a problem with them. I have a dreamat sluice and it is great. But the bluebowl dreammat, not so much. My first attempt at fastening the dreammat I did it exactly like the video instructed. I let it dry about 12hrs and nope...the mat floated up on the sides. 2nd attempt I applied silicon in 8 spots vice 4 and let it dry for over a week, this worked. However, my problem with the dream mat is that even with my pump set at full blast it does not clean out all of the black sands. Using a larger pump seems like you would only have water coming over the top of bluebowl. On full blast mine does this slightly as it is. That never happened prior to using the dreammat. I could adjust it perfectly like the bluebowl instructions suggest. Additionally, I can't get a perfectly smooth waterflow like I could without the dreammat. Knowing what I know now, I would recommend you save your money. Instead invest in screens such as 50, 70, and 100 mesh and run your sands individually as such. Do not simply screen down to 30 mesh and run them without further screening because you will lose your micro sub 70mesh gold. That is, unless you don't care about losing your micro gold. But you will be surprised how much sub 70 and 100 mesh gold you can recover when your cons are properly screened down and ran thru the bluebowl just as it comes.
