Mud or sand - Sand bed or miracle mud

[Okay a friend just got a new system with a Eco sump/filter. It has Miracle Mud in it, is that good or should he switch to a Sand bed. As I have done neither what do you guys recommend.]
 
[I think the Ecosystems are intended to use the mud. I know a few people with that setup Ill see if I can get you some more info.]

Ok I hope that link worked. Alas this is not a miracle product to be leary of. I know a few people that use this system and are very pleased with it. The mud will house pods like you wouldnt believe and grows macro very well.
If you have any specific questions about the mud setup that the website doesnt cover, let me know and I will be happy to chat with the others about it. HTH]
 
[I know a few people who have used the stuff and had great results. OTOH, a couple of years ago somebody sent some off to be analyzed at a lab, it tunrs out the stuff appeared to be harvested from a mountain side in CA or something. If you search on ReefCentral, you can read more about it than can shake a stick at.]
 
[:uhoh:
I have to agree about the CA statement, everything odd is located in that State-of-disrepair. I lived there 9yrs and there are more Nut Trees than you can shake a stick at, from the government down. I am not surprised the Mr.Mircle Mud man just digs it out of his/her back yard and sells it as Gold from the high country.

I always thought it was something they put in the water and NOW! I find that it is really in the land. Goes to show a person that if'in you don't watch out you will be on the Dock of the EBay like Odis Redding.

Just joken. I think there is alot to be said for the Mud projects and I will waite until the verdict is in. I/We are doing Mangroves, but I would not trust the system on the Mangroves, just a test see. I just float them off the sand. I find it does help reduce the skimmer, but I now hear that Mag levels might be the problem, yet I have seen Noooo change in my Pars and growth is still great, still working on it.

Good luck with the Mud and I would like to see the project as it is in progress. I think you live just up the street from us?, so you said?
Give us a Holler and I would love to come over.
